There are audio clips on the rotosound website.

I have switched to DR for good, of course there are as many opinions as there are bassists, but I must say I like them a lot and I play similar stuff. A little slap and pop, some chords and bouncy kind of thumb stuff. They sound great, not too bright on top and nice and fat bottom.
