Q: What is Promark ActiveGrip and how does it work?

Promark's ActiveGrip is a heat-activated grip solution applied to the drumsticks. It's designed to get tackier as your hands sweat and your body temperature rises, providing a more secure and consistent grip during intense playing. When your hands are dry, the finish feels smooth and natural, ensuring you maintain excellent control without any sticky residue.

Q: What kind of sound can I expect from the wood acorn tips on these drumsticks?

These drumsticks feature traditional wood acorn tips, which produce a warm, full, and articulate sound. The acorn shape provides a broad contact area, allowing for rich cymbal tones and a solid, defined drum sound. This tip style is versatile, making it suitable for a wide range of musical styles from jazz to rock, delivering clarity and presence.

Q: How does the long taper of the Rebound drumsticks affect my playing?

The long taper on Promark Rebound drumsticks shifts the balance point further back towards the butt end of the stick. This design promotes a quicker, more effortless rebound off the drumhead or cymbal. It results in a lighter, faster feel in your hands, enhancing your speed, agility, and overall control for intricate patterns and dynamic playing.

Q: Are Promark Rebound ActiveGrip drumsticks durable?

Yes, these drumsticks are crafted from high-quality hickory, known for its strength, flexibility, and durability, ensuring they can withstand rigorous playing. The ActiveGrip finish is integrated into the stick, not a coating, so it won't chip or peel off. Plus, Sweetwater offers a free 2-year warranty, providing extra confidence in your gear's longevity.

I used to use 5b sticks because the weight matched my grip style and the way I do paradiddle rolls, I recently purchased a Evans snare tune up kit which came with white versions of these exact sticks but in 5A so I figured what the heck I'll try them and I'll never go back to Vic Furth 5Bs. Pro Mark for life now. The rebound sticks are slightly heavier than other 5A sticks so it's perfect for me.

The active grip works fantastic, grip without the blisters... Good weight and consistency between pairs. Would be 5 stars BUT... Why don't you offer them in a Nylon tip!!!!! Wood tips just don't hold up to my playing, I have pairs that are barely even marked up ant the tips look like my dog got a hold of them! Flying chunks of tips everywhere!
