Yeah some of my worst blisters ever came from those metallica sticks. You're basically just grinding your fingers against textured metal for hours at a time. Real nasty.
Some drummers just hit harder, it depends on the style of music and the kind of stick too. I think consistency is a good point. I used to break sticks (and heads for that matter) a lot, but it was a pretty regular thing. Some baseball players break bats more than others, it doesn't mean they're worse players.
