HERE ARE SOME FIRST TIME XCEL USER

Received my sticks last week and used them for gigs Saturday and Sunday. WOW! The Power Sticks feel so comfortable in my hand and readily provide a great place to grip the stick! Even with the big 'lump' on the butt, the stick still feels balanced and natural using either 'traditional' or 'matching' grip.

The Standard sticks are just as great! I use 7A sticks for most of my work and I'm forever tearing up the shoulders on my HH and cyms. After a full night of playing, these Standads showed very little wear. I like 'em even more then my Vater's - and that's saying a lot! Haven't used my Super sticks yet, but looking forward to it. The only thing I could possibly want extra would be a ball tip. I do so like the sound of a ball on the ride cymbal. Keep up the great work! I'll be ordering more I'm sure!

To: "Butler, Torry" .. Hi Torry, I got the Sticks today, and thank you by the way for the Heavy Hitters! Well, I have been using Vater Sticks for years, and tried alot of other companies off and on as well. Wow, the Standard Xcel Stick was a huge difference, and for the better. Being 5B, the same as I have been using, these seem lighter. There is less strain on the wrist and they respond very nice. While I was playing, I noticed when I did my fills, the hits were even and just as loud as the first hit. I moved up to the Speed Sticks, even better. After trying all 4 pairs, these are my favorites! The Power Sticks are nice, I might need some more time getting used to the grip area. The Heavy Hitter, great Stick as well, just not for what I play. I am really impressed with your product, and for the fast delivery. I would like 4 more pairs of the Speed 5B (nylon). If you could send me a total, I will Paypal it. Looks like I'm done with the Vaters. I hope there is a spot for me in the Xcel family, you guys are Great! Sincerely, Shawn M. Johnson

Dude... You rock!!! A thousand thank you's to you!!! Thanks for sending me the 3 different pair... That only makes my decision even harder... Thanks for that, lol... I think I like the "Speed Sticks" the best I like the balance but what I do trip on is the secondary striker just below the nylon tips... I can actually hear the difference when I crash on a cymbal... More crash definition and color from the cymbal itself... Fucking brilliant design... Totally killer... I'll tell my buddies about your company for sure... Some drummer guys I know are: CHRIS FRAZIER (WHITESNAKE) ROBERT SWEET (STRYPER) JIMMY PAXSON (STEVIE NICKS) ERIC SINGER (KISS) BLAS ELIAS (x SLAUGHTER) JEFF OCHELTREE (X JOHN BONHAM drum tech) Plus other great drummers as well...
