I like this wand a lot. It is heavy-ish and solid metal. It makes a nice sound with the penguin cups and is good for a drummers roll. I used to own a wooden wand with metal tips that screws together. After performing on the street just one drop during my cups and balls and it broke. Not this one, I got the gold tips and they don't fade away, trust me I tried using bartenders friend which is what I use on my cups to shine and polish them to gleaming shine. It didn't take off any of the gold tip color. I like this wand and plan to use it on the sidewalk, I won't have to worry about dropping it, thanks Penguin!

I was using a wood hand made wand but wanted something a bit more professional looking. The Tango Wand looks great but it is much heavier than my wood one. It is taking some used to when doing my wand spins. The diameter seems about right as well. So far so good but i have only been using it for a week.
