These Promark Rebound 5B Hickory Drumsticks are crafted from American Hickory, which is renowned for its resilience and durability while also offering a classic feel. Like other sticks from Promark, these sticks feature an acorn tip that provides a larger surface area for increased articulation and responsiveness, while the long taper provides a rear-weighted feel - ideal for fast styles such as metal. Finally, each drumstick undergoes a ProMatch process, that ensures consistent quality across all sticks. In other words - each stick is identical and offers the same sound and feel.
