Advantages: Looks, Weight, Strength, Easy on hands, Cheaper in the long run

Disadvantages: Initial cost, Weight

I've been using these sticks on and off for over six years now. They seemed heavy to me when i first got them, but compared to my Thomas Lang ones they are cocktail sticks.
I'm a hard hitter and have never broken a pair in six years, i have changed the tips twice and the sleeves 4 times, the sleeves cost about £2.50 a pair from my local music shop. So in total i've paid about £40 in six years on sticks. Thats realllllly cheap!
The sticks have nylon tips that can be replaced if they get damaged. As for sound their weight aids power on the drums, but you really notice how good they are when using them on cymbals, the slice cleanly and easily, and Ahead claim they are better for your expensive cymbals than wood sticks, and i do believe it. They don't mark the cymbals at all. They only come in one colour and thats black, with the white nylon tip.

Summary: Great durable sticks that last forever!
