Vic Firth Ralph Hardimon's Alternative?

I use heavier sticks while on the pad but the ones i currently have dont really cut it. Im buying a new e-kit and the store said they would gift sticks with it. The thing is the store im buying from doesnt sell vic firths(the ones that sell dont have it anyways). I didnt wanna go through the whole catalogue on the page comparing every stick brands length/diameter and weight, also it would be really nice to hear you guys' experiences.

Basically im wondering what other stick brands have something thats close to the Hardimon's. Mainly brands like Meinl, Promark, Vater, Zildjian.

Also the sticks i have been using are Zildjian's Eric Singer artist series as pad sticks but as i said i want something heavier.

Thanks :)
