If you're not happy with these...
...you're really hard to please!
When buying five pairs, at the price i usually pay for a single pair, you won't hear me complain. Especially when they are well matched and well balanced, which these indeed are.
Wooden sticks run out fast, so i'm happy w/this affordable alternative for top quality sticks at over 15,= a pair. These are perfect for practice, for beginners, for drummers that play so hard they use up a lot of pairs, etc.
Even for advanced drummers (i've been playing for almost 40yrs now) i don't think there's a lot to complain about. A bit longer perhaps? They sound a little less crisp on cymbals than VF or other more expensive sticks, probably due to the fact this would is a bit softer, which means they'll also last a little shorter. But if you're wise you'll be playing with hearing protection, so soundwise it doesn't really matter unless you have a gig.
Price is totally unbeatable, definitely recommended!

Great value sticks
after paying the several times this price for other brands of sticks i'm glad i yet again found thomann does an alternative thats as good but at a far lower cost.
So far had none break, (i dont hit perticularly hard but i've broken sticks in the past) they chip out when playing them like an idiot on the hi hat as i some times do, just as any drum stick does but for this price i can make some cheap sawdust out of these and not have to worry about it so much. I've used other cheap drum sticks in the past that proke, tips break off, tispa nd parts of the shaft break off. Shafts crack. So far none of these have done the same.
Would recomend them.

Rubbish
I purchased three sets of these sticks at the time. The night I got them I used them for a gig. I came home with one in tacked. I am in no means a heavy hitter, although I wouldn't necessarily be a light hitter either. I was extremely disappointed that they didn't at least last a month or a few!
They are very light sticks, as many drummers would know, as they are 7A's. That and them being of poor quality are my suggestions why they were so fragile. I know I won't be buying them again. I also would be sceptical with Millennium branded products, as it isn't the first time something has broke on the first day I have got of theirs.
To sum up, you are not getting value for money. If you do get them, don't be surprised if they don't last you long.

Unbelievably cheap
When you see a pair of sticks this cheap, I mean, you gotta try them!!
I was expecting the worst quality there is, and the truth is, I'm somewhat surprised they aren't worst.
Been playing them, for a couple of weeks now on rehearsals and (being a "light drummer" as I am) I can say they are still one piece and only have a few dents, which to me is surprising.
Soundwise, well, I would record with them, it's just not the same as a pair of Vic Firths. They sound cheap...
But for rehearsals, they do the job.

Cheap and helpful
Are you looking for practice drumsticks? This is the best solution. I bought this for my son because he loves playing drums. I also use this on the electronic drums at school for practice.
You won't go wrong with these sticks. They are very cheap and the quality is also good. I'm not a pro drummer but I would tell you that this is good especially for the price. It's light and easy to use.
Pros
Cheap, light, and easy to use, good for beginners
Cons
None
I would highly recommend this especially for beginners who are looking for cheap drumsticks.

Extremely high price/quality ratio!
Compared to Vic Firth 7a sticks, these are comparable and my son even likes them better. That's interesting because they cost less than half of "famous" brand sticks. Well done Thomann! These sticks are great!

Your first stick. And should stay like it!
This is a famous stick, because it is the cheapest stick a drum could buy. However, this insane price of around 2 euros comes with a price.
Pros:
+ Cheap beyond imagination
+ Bundle of 5 pairs costs less than a high quality pair
+ I guess these could be good for metal drummers ?
+ Best first stick
Cons:
- Density is extremely small.
- Very light
- Breaks easily
- This model (7A) has much, much bigger diameter than it should. Therefore bad quality.
- The above cons make your technique inferior to what it is.
My suggestion: Get this as your first stick, to test out whether you like drumming or not. But, this should stay as your first stick. Due to its bad quality your technique will suffer.

Ok for practice but not gigging.
These sticks are ok for light practising or jazz playing but anything heavier or harder stick to the more expensive vic firth or vater.
I used these at a few gigs and broke 2 sticks in one night riding the bell in the chorus of our rock set.
I like millenium, they're other products are great, drum cases and hardware..but don't go cheap on sticks for your gigs.

As expected
Sticks are suitable for beginners.
Lower price, lower quality, as expected.

One of my favorite!
This is one of my favorite set of drum sticks, i love the feel and response that they have. You should give them a try at least once , they are a surprise, especially because of their cheap price.
