I’d seen Bopworks ads in a couple different drum magazines, and I’d been wanting to try something new, so I ordered 4 pair of Birdlands and one pair of 40s Swing Classics. They shipped and arrived quicker than I expected and they were packaged nicely. The Birdland is short, thin, and light. It took me a couple days to get used to them, but they quickly became my favorite stick that I’ve used in 23 years of drumming. On a fairly snugly tuned drum they really shine, and if you play with the butt-end on the snare you’ll have ample volume for almost any situation. If you chop sticks up on your cymbals I wouldn’t use these, but if you want fast, light and musical sticks I would certainly give these a try.

Fabulous, as always. If you love pure cymbal sounds, you will love these sticks! They are well built and balanced.

My Birdlands arrived just in time for rehearsal. I love them. I've been a long-time Regal Tip 7AN guy. But their wood tip version doesn't have the same taper as the nylon. My new Bopworks are perfect. Super responsive. Fun to play. I'm never going back.

I have played with these sticks for several years. They feel beautiful in my hands. The weight and balance are superb. They help me extract beautiful tones from my drums and cymbals, and they are exceptionally durable!

Light quick response excellent for low volume articulate playing

I switched to playing only Bopworks a few years ago and quickly landed on the Birdland as my model of choice. I use them for combo jazz and, perhaps surprisingly, for big band. The tips sound great on my cymbals, especially when I'm going for the slightly trashy old sound on my ride. The lighter weight compared to my old sticks gives me a lot more room to play - I can hit really hard without overpowering either my quartet or big band.

Reminiscent of "pencil - style" sticks of the 1950's. Light-sounding on drums and cymbals, nice ride sound. Probably more sturdy than they feel when you first pick them up; still, this is a stick for light jazz trio in a night club for listeners!

I recently ordered a few pairs of Bopworks sticks. These are quality sticks! They feel great! Very smooth! What also struck me was how the sticks were perfectly matched to weight and pitch! Even other companies "pitch match" give different sounds when striking a surface. The birdland model is very light weight... too light for me but I wanted to compare. Nonetheless a high quality stick!
