Ralph Hardimon
I marched at Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, La(1991-96). The first 2 years we marched Coopermans(Marty Hurley), he is truly missed. We started using Ralph Hardimon's at Northwestern in 1993, and to this day that is the stick of choice. I got some Hardimon's in Little Rock, AR from Guitar Center that were a Cream color and were slicker. I don't know if that was style of Hardimon's that were available or if they just didn't get the correct ones. The 2 pairs of Hardimons I got from Steve Weiss are just as I remembered, snowy white, that feel great and have great balance!!!Ehhh....
They're okay, I guess. I got a pair, and within two weeks they were already starting to break. I'm not sure if it's just how rough I play, but the stability of the sticks could be improved. But it does create a bright sound when playing.favorite stick
my personal favorite stick, great sound, perfect rebound, decent durability if taken care of... awesome stick... get a pair, you'l love themgreat
These sticks have great rebound and the sound is always consistent on the drum line. my high school has been using them for years with about 7 snares a year and ive only seen one broken stick.Great rebound
These sticks have great rebound from the long taper and unique barrel tip and are very consistent, everybody's sounded the same. And yes these also break quite easily but even so they are loud and great for high school drumlines to professionals.Great Sticks for the Price
Great sticks, but they do break pretty easily. Good weight and good sound if you don't tape them all the way to the bead. Only reason they didn't get five stars is because they break too easily, but for the price, they are definitely worth it.Ralphs
They say "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". That is certainly the case with the SRH. This one of Vic's first signature corps sticks and its obvious why they have been around for so long. These are among the most consistent sticks being manufactured today. Great weight, taper and bead shape. I submit that anyone who "Breaks these while playing medium volume" is out there hacking and playing with a serious lack of technique and probably has a very poor approach to the drum. However, Breaking sticks is just part of drumming! We take inanimate objects and strike them repeatedly on other inanimate objects! And yes, the manufacturing process allows for any stick these days to have a few defects. I have been playing with these and many other sticks over the years while I have always found a "dud" pair or two here and there, these are far more consistent than many of the other brands. I love a lot of the sticks that are coming out for snare drum. Very exciting with all of the different variety that's out there. But for the money, and for the proven levels of variety and consistency, I chose firth. xPretty good.
This sticks do give a great sound and rebound, but I have found that they do break pretty easily. I had them taped all the way up, and after just one practice of molar-stroke rim shots, they break in half. They are very good sticks, but not my first pick.A good stick
I've been using these for the past two years. They have served me well.Pimpin fresh
these sticks are really amazing. They have perfect size and weight for marching and give a really good sound. The snare line at my school has been using them for years and they really don't break as easily as people say. I recommend them for any snare player.GOOD STICKS
These are good sticks. Break EasilyGREAT
My Snare line has been using these for years! No problem with them at all, and we love them!
Great sticks just about perfect weight for on the field.
This stick feels pretty good to play with, good rebound and pretty good sound but not really any better than some other sticks I have used. Every pair I have seen thus far has broken very easily though.
i love these sticks. my whole snare line uses them. though occasionall i have gotten a faulty pair the break really easily. other than that they are wonderful
To tell the truth these sticks have cost me $60. Im in the Moorefield drumline and here we play PFL! These sticks cannot handle rimshots or anything. So far my band teacher has bought like six pairs of them and i have broken every one of them. And while doing so i was only playing at a medium volume. I highly recommend not buying these things.
