Excellent product and the rubber tips do the job, mostly towards the cymbals which with regular sticks sounds a lot when you hit them.
They just do not work well with the pads, in my opinion. Save your money. After putting on the pads, I find that the regular sticks sound about as quiet as these rubber tipped ones and the regular sticks provide much better bounce on the pads. Not that these do not work, just that they are not needed if you have the pads and actually I doubt I will ever use them now. I actually prefer the drum pad silencers with the regular sticks. I purchased both the pads and the rubber tip sticks at the same time though. Buy one or the other - not both.
The sticks themselves are decent. The rubber tips seem to fly off at random, though, which can be kind of annoying.
They are very sturdy, but not too heavy. Everyone always compliments my drumsticks.because they are awesome. I love, love, LOVE my new drum sticks. I personally don't care for the rubber tips, so I just don't use them.
The tips also seem to wear rather quickly, but all in all, these are worth it. They make drumming so much easier. They don't cancel much noise, but the bounce they produce on the pads is incredible. They are also thicker, so if the cymbals are too high, you will be hitting them with the stick instead of the tip. I have the Rockband 2 wireless drums with cymbals, and I love these things. The rubber tips are removable. If you have the cymbals, they are just as loud and don't quite bounce as well.
