Here is Roxanne from Excel Drumsticks demonstrating the Powerstick and Speedstick models which were displayed at the 2008 Summer NAMM show. Although they may seem strange at first, I've played with the powersticks before and they have a really good feel to them. I also like the secondary striker because I get a consistent bell sound without having to aim for it. Check them out at http://www.myspace.com/xceldrumsticks
