i've got a pair. my cousin gave it to me for my birthday 2 years ago. his dad called it 'weapons of mass destruction'.

well i've never used it due to sentimental value and fear of breaking something with the sticks.

hmm.. here is my two cents worth. i dun not recomend metal sticks though there are some people who swear by it. just my feel. i feel that wood sticks still produce the more acoustic feel and sound. and metal stick do injure your cymbals. and definately any wood hoops. the wood hoops lacquer layer will crack. i have experienced that myself. yea. so but still give it a try, it may be your preference.
