Cool dude. Oh and it's Adamas, not Adams. I had to learn that too:). Love them.  Get some. Happy picking.

I love those Adamas 2mm's.   I have about 40 of them, went nuts on eBay and snatched as many as I could.  Probably overkill since they never really wear down.  I play the rounded part of the pick, I feel it helps for speed/32nd's....etc....

Cool.  Yeah they aren't very common but not extinct either.  People try to make it seem like they are going out of stock and try to sell them like crazy.  I've got my safety stash that will last a couple years.

I totally agree, I started doing this recently and noticed an improvement when practicing scales. It definitely makes strumming easier too! I even started using the rounded side for my acoustic picks and that helps a lot as well (Martin .73's.)

Dunlop sells them direct from their site, my biggest problem is that I lose them! I have one bag in reserve and about 8 or 9 in a tin I have on my board. The Dunlop 2mm gator grips are decent too.
