DR Red Devil Strings - Awful!!!

hi all,

tried my first coated strings recently, the aforementioned DR 'red devils'. Paid in excess of £30 for them as they were 'extra long life' and they went dead so quickly!!! absolutely gutted and cant believe how little life they gave me.

Now ive never had coated strings before so is this just me being stupid? I was hoping they would have that 'twang' for a hell of a lot longer. I would say maybe 3/4 hours play and they seemed to just die!! Would love to hear anyone elses experiences?

Thanks!

I've used DR Black Beauties and Red Devils, both sets lasted over two years of reasonable gigging, recording and rehearsing. About to swap my Red Devils for some Black Beauties again, I love them :)

I got my first defective set of DR sunbeams recently after using them for a couple of years.

I had read about people finding the odd dodgy packet but never found them myself til now. Sounded OK when strung up but the D-string went dead after 1 rehearsal.
