Why Balbex drumsticks ?

Playing different styles of music is a magical thing!
After a long research for a pair that covers all my musical needs, I found what I was looking for in my Premium Hickory Signature Balbex Drumsticks.
Light wood tip for a jazzy, smooth sound and a decent weight for heavy duty.
I can now carry one pair for any style of music that I play!
