I was thinking the same thing.. Also SD4s by Vic Firth.  Other sticks in the Vic Firth family similar in weight... AS5a, AS8D, AS7A, STR all by Vic Firth
Vaters sticks:  Studio 2 VHSZW, John Blackwells (Jia Angel) VHJBLKW, Michael White VHMWHT 7A, Recording VHRECW, Lil John Roberts Philly Style VHLJRW
Ziljdians sticks: 5A wood SKU# SDB5AWN, 6A wood SJU# SD86AWN, Z4A wood SKU# SDB24AWN, Dennis Chambers SKU# SDBASDC
ProMarks:  TX721W, TX737W, TX808LW, TX808w
For Los Cabos: Hit BBD up for those numbers..
These are just some of the sticks I like... Stay Blessed, Nate J.

Man them sticks are $2.50 out here. I get Vater Power 5As for $4.50 all day. Any size I want, all day. Now,  after I recieve my package from Los Cabos I can't Speak on Vater anymore. I gonna start playing Los Cabos Jazz Hickory. There 16 1/4 inches in length and .574 in diameter. Try those.

This is what you do lil bro. Make them price match musician's friend's inventory. Print out the info. and take into the store.....  To be honest with you, they hate to see me coming. I'm such a jerk when I deal with them dudes at these music stores. But, if you're getting them at GC then they're jacking you. You got to speak up, and learn how to be shrewd with them boys. You can get Vaters, Vics, and Promarks for $ 5.00 a pair. Or at least $ 5.50... Or just holla at BBD. He got the plug.

Used to play these exclusively for a LONG time.

I've also been into the Vater John Blackwells and the 7a's. 

But now I play the Ayotte Jazz Maples EXCLUSIVELY!!  They are great.  They are about the size of a modified 5A.  They have a small acorn tip and a short taper on the shaft.  They are made of maple instead of hickory.  that means that they are lighter than hickory sticks of the same size.  I really dig these sticks.
