Tom,

I have carbosticks and Zildjian anti-vibes.  I like both and they both
do a good job of killing vibrations.  I tend to use the Zildjians
because I bought the wrong carbosticks - they have a small round tip
which doesn't work as well as an elongated tip on teh DTXpress (not as
loud).  If you buy the correct tip they should be good.  They are
quite a heavy stick, but also have the lowest stick noise of all of
the sticks I have.  I like the surface which is not as slippy as
wooden sticks.

Keith.
