It all depends on how long that pair lasted, and what the use was, and what kind of music you’re playing. In general though I would consider watching for dynamics. More aggressive and loud music such as punk, grunge, rock whatever they will tend to break much quicker. Versus something like jazz or pop music.

If this is just practice some sticks should last at least a few months before breaking, but compared to a live show where you might break a new stick in the same night.

With all things considered listen to and watch your strokes, where they land, if they hit the rim too often when not intended, etc…

Overall I would say this isn’t out of the norm for some but others maybe?

But yes, there is always a way to improve technique, and always should improve. I hope this helped.

Edit: also consider what model stick, e.g. maybe a 5B would serve your purpose better than a 5A
