who knew a drumstick maker would put out a great rolling pin?

I've really enjoyed this rolling pin.  The grain is extremely smooth and the wood is beautiful.  It's a good size for rolling out cookie dough and pie crusts, although my lack of counter space sometimes makes it awkward. Great natural product.

I really don't know if being a Neil Peart fan has made me believe this, but I really love using these drum sticks. They are a little longer than your typical pro mark 5A's and I like the balance point that they have.

Great gift for a drummer and it was very well received! Super creative, great photos, and full of interesting writeups that non-drummers find interesting. I appreciated this shipper because it was cheaper than other listings, and the book was delivered before it's longest duration in the range, which was well before Christmas.

OK, I should not be this giddy about a rolling pin. Sigh. I guess that's what happens though at my age.

This pin is beyond expectations. I needed something a bit smaller than the pins I had. I had not tried a silicone pin and had never thought it could make much of a difference. Boy was I wrong! This pin is smooth, non-stick, durable, and was sold to me at a fantastic price! Honestly, totally blown away by this purchase.

This rolling pin is a tried and true classic. I am a novice learning how to handle various doughs and pastries so I wanted a rolling pin that was easy to use so I could feel more confident. This rolling pin is smooth hardwood, and it rolls well. It was a little stiff when it first arrived, but all I had to do was loosen the pins on the ends slightly to make it roll like a dream. I haven't had any issues with dough sticking to the pin. Farberware recommends that it be wiped clean with a damp cloth. I love this minimal upkeep. I predict this rolling pin will be around to see me through all kinds of delicious projects.

I can only gush about these sticks. These are easily my favorite drum sticks. It's crazy to think that there should be much of a difference in sticks of this size but there is something special about these that you can only tell by holding on to them. They just feel right in your hands, like they where designed for just you. To anyone who likes a different size stick, thinner or thicker I would say that don't just focus on that aspect because these sticks will make you rethink that whole concept. Again, they just feel right in your hands, that is the best way to put it. Check them out!!!

Danfis Prieto is one of the greatest drumkit players alive. He also writes interesting music. I am so grateful I have a chance to hear his talent.

We lived in Newport RI for awhile, and one of my favorite foods was the lobster roll, followed by grinders of any kind. The lobster roll filling is easy to make, but try and get the buns anywhere out of new england! For years, as we've traveled and lived in, and out, of the country I've made lobster rolls with all sorts of buns. However, with the New England hot dog pan I can make the genuine lobster roll buns (King Aurthur website has an excellent recipe to go with this pan).

The pan came with no recipe, no instructions, but I could find that online. The pan is very heavy duty with a good weight.

I did ding it one star because to use it you are supposed to put a sheet pan on top, then a weight on top of that like a brick or heavy iron skillet. I would have preferred it had a pull lid like a&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/USA-Pans-13-x-4-x-4-Inch-Pullman-Aluminized-Steel-with-Americoat/dp/B002UNMZPI/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">USA Pans 13 x 4 x 4 Inch Pullman, Aluminized Steel with Americoat</a>&nbsp;which would have made this pan perfect.

These are sick! I have only had PROMARK drumsticks because I have never encountered any problems with them at all. The are very high quality entry level drumsticks and they're really cheap too! The nylon tip adds durability to the tip of the stick, so i'd recommend getting that! If you need drumsticks that are well-made, then get these!

I purchased this rolling pin to replace my old wooden one with the traditional handles.  Instead of pounding meats for frying "cutlet" recipes, I prefer to use a rolling pin, to eliminate "meat splatter" (even with plastic wrap, there is always some splatter), and to achieve more even flattening results.  Because this rolling pin is stainless steel, I can also eliminate any concerns about being able to thoroughly clean the rolling pin, which is especially important when working with meats like chicken and pork.

Also, because of its 15 3/4" length, and slight taper on either end, I can now work with larger pieces of dough without the limitations of a handled rolling pin, which will allow for smooth, even results over a larger area (maybe I can finally learn to make my own pasta).  To make things even better (and in case I never learn to do the pasta thing), the seller (Virtuosoul, LLC) emailed me a .pdf recipe book by Ultra Cuisine, filled with over 160 pages of dessert recipes.

At over half a pound (i.e., 10 ounces), this rolling pin feels solid with the weight that makes it easy to handle, and easy to feel the thickness of the food I'm working with.

I LOVE this rolling pin! Seriously. I bake several times per week. I make pizza, calzones, biscuits, breads, etc. and I've been using a Wood rolling pin. I bought this to try a new style and I'm in love. It is super heavy and rolls dough out in a breeze. I hated making pie crust because of how bad it sticks and that is no longer an issue. I put this bad boy in my freezer for a few minutes before rolling out pie crust and it makes it 1000000x easier. I just can't say enough good things about this rolling pin. I recommend this 100%. But do keep in mind it is heavy, so it might now work for everyone.

Ps. It also comes with a cute stand. So I keep this bad boy out on my counter on display it's so pretty!

This is a beautifully crafted rolling pin.  I purchased as part of a larger gift for my daughter who loves to bake!  I am very satisfied!

I love this rolling pin because it distributes the pressure better than the conventional rolling pins, it's easy to clean and it's great for rolling out pie crusts and pizza dough and...... Just love it!

This was my first intro to Allan's playing or was it Bill Bruford's band?
Well anyways, Holy poo stick.
The drumming on the opener blew me away both for the drum sound and the creativeness.
The guitar playing is easily one of the best Allan has ever done aside from Bundles from the Soft Machine days.

You know, looking at what today's kids are growing up with is absolutely amazing that people back then did this kind of music on shoestrings half dead with only macaroni and cheese to eat.
Allan is a great guy.

I'm not a drummer but I've always been fascinated with percussion. (Unfortunately, I couldn't keep a beat with a metronome.) The photos in this book are magnificent, showcasing kits from as far back as the 1920's. Who knew that they had closed high hats that far back? There's a cool shot of Keith Moon's levels of toms and the steel framing required so he could walk on them. And there are tidbits of information strewn throughout the book like the race between Moon and Ginger Baker to get a double bass rig. (Moon won by two weeks.) I was hoping the book would delve more into the evolution of drummers from the 70's onward. The author himself notes that he more or less stops there. (He also admits to not covering cymbals at all.) As a result, drummers like Neil Peart, Mike Portnoy, and Gavin Harrison are not even mentioned. The history of the drumkit up to the John Bonham era is reviewed with loving attention to detail. And the photos are great but there could have been so much more.

The rolling pin worked amazing. I'm not used to using a silicone rolling pin, as I've always used a wooden one with a sleeve, but this worked out very well and I'm very happy with it. I'm sure I'll be using it for years to come.

This is one of the cleverist items invented!  For cutting precise angles in small wood pieces, you just set the metal bed at the angle you want, place the wood "stick" along the guide, and snip it (like with scissors).  As I was cutting a large number of 60 degree angles of 1/4x1/4 wood stickes, and each end need to be opposite cut, I bought a second one so I could cut on one side, and pick up the other unit and cut the other - without having to adjust the cut angle of the tool.  It works particularly well with hardwood.  Balsa and other light wood can tend to smush instead of cutting straight thru.  But with walnut, cherry, etc., it's almost always perfect!
