Vaya JC!
I remember them back in the 70's when LP introduced them, I bought a pair of the thin ones, and experienced the 'sharding' of them. I wound up borrowing an idea that I noticed Manny Oquendo and other Timbale players used, and that was to put some tape on them (the striking area of the stick). But they just grew too old quickly. I can't say that I would buy another pair in this lifetime, hey but to each their own!
Suerte!
Onile!
Que Nsambi les acutare pa' siempre!
