WHY DO YOU PLAY COLLISION?
Collision Drumsticks is a very good company. There products are made well and high quality. The size sticks that I use are 5A. The favorite thing that I like about the brand is that they are high quality made sticks. They do not break easily. I would highly recommend these brand of sticks because they are a very good quality.
