This item has been used a few times with grip tape wrapped from the top. It is not new and unopened, but since there are almost no scratches, I have classified it as being in near-new condition. Official My Bachi (drumsticks) can have significant individual differences, but these are very light, and I was especially impressed with their suitability for single strokes. If you play on a drum machine that is regularly maintained, you may be able to bring out their true potential depending on the song. Please note that this is based on personal experience. Price negotiations are not accepted.
