ProMark Classic Forward FireGrain 5A Drumsticks Wood Tip

I've always like ProMark sticks, but these have quickly become my favorite. The feel and rebound they give is the most comfortable I've ever felt. They look awesome, they are great quality for the price, they have an excellent grip, and can be used in a variety of different settings.

I have been a hard rock/metal drummer for a good number of years now and I used to always be a fan of Vic Firth, however, I used to chew through sticks in no time. Finally I found these and I haven't ever looked back. These sticks have some serious strength and definitely outlast any Vic Firth sticks I have had. They feel amazing, the weight and balance are perfect and you just can't go wrong with these. These are now my goto sticks and I will remain a loyal customer for the foreseeable future. Thank you for outstanding product Pro Mark!

All around a great set of sticks, not too light nor heavy. Got these sticks as a Christmas present last year and I play a metal drum style. These sticks are still in a good condition some splintering where you hit the rim but that’s expected after awhile.

I have purchased various drumsticks over the years and do have my favorites but the ProMark Classic Forward 5A FireGrain Drumstick I hesitated to buy for some time because of what I thought was its less than desirable aesthetic look and incredibly deceivable heavier look that turned out to be without a doubt a drumstick that every drummer needs to try, own and use in different applications. As described by ProMark it offers a very good mystifying balance but like no other drumstick I can say I own. At first, I couldn’t put my finger on what mesmerized me about ProMark’s Classic Forward 5A FireGrain all around weight and feel, particularly because it had a beefier like diameter in my small hands and I gravitate toward medium or medium thin drumsticks, like Zildjian’s 5A Hickory, which I happen to like very much and Tama’s 5A Oak Drumstick, which also has a nice weight and feel. The ProMark Classic Forward 5A FireGrain Drumstick differs from ProMark’s standard Forward 5A Hickory counterpart because it is so very subtly lighter, giving an intriguing “sense” of being somewhat esoterically hollow yet “hefty” and solid at the same time. The stainless texture provides the necessary grip without compromising the necessary sliding needed for dexterity of stick manipulation. The shorter and wider taper before the tip may be a contributing factor that achieves such favorable outcome with balance and feel. The tip circumference is bigger, which reduces cymbal definition and generates greater volume but also can provide drier texture to a cymbal’s shimmer and tone. The ProMark Classic Forward 5A FireGrain Drumstick is very compatible with drum pads, providing uniquely distinct sounds from various striking points of the stick and pads I so far tested it on, such as Evan’s Real Feel Double Sided Drum Practice Pad, Meinl’s logo black silicone drum pad and Prologix’s Red Storm, Green and Black foam drum pads. The butt of the stick is quite universal, not heavily clumsy and very functional allowing it to be used even as timbale sticks, for a more fuller Tito Puente like sound, a solid and clear “cascara” (the side of the shells) sound. while even using the drum tip for a lighter more defined sound on the timbale heads, cowbells and cymbal. The stick is heralded for its durability but it’s relatively new so the verdict is yet to be rendered on this characteristic. I am now ready to try experimenting with the ProMark Forward FireGrain 7A Drumstick with high expectations.

These sticks are great! The 7A size has a nice light feel in the hand and allows me to control the dynamics and gives me dexterity when used on an acoustic kit. They bring out great tone in the drums and cymbals. I used them in church within both soft songs and songs that build up to hard hits. I was able to control the dynamics throughout each song very well. I can hit the drums pretty hard and not be afraid of them breaking because they are durable. I am also able to move around the kit quickly because of the lightness of the 7A size. If your style of music requires you to hit hard most of the time, you probably should get 5A or bigger or a size you perfer to be safe about not breaking them. However, these sticks are very durable considering they're 7A. I love them. I will have to give them four stars only because I just got them and I don't know how well they'll hold up over time. Other than that, they are perfect.

Nice sticks

One pair of 2B's lasted me an entire year!!!!!

Very nice sticks great balance and feel I recently bought the 5A weight and they are also super nice. The fire grain process is a cool look

A baqueta bem a pressão

This pair of drumsticks help me switch between itself and my Vic Firth 5B smoothly. Since VF-5B is on the lighter side and Promark Firegrain 5B being heavy, I attain the perfect balance I need while (switching sticks and) jamming. They play great on practice pad too. Go ahead and buy it, don't bother. You won't regret.

Balanceadas e sem nenhum tipo de empenamento...top!!!!!

What a great pair of sticks. Balance and weight is perfect and the resilience of these is amazing. As a metal drummer, previous sticks were being eaten through after about 2 hours use. These are currently on about 18hours and look mildly used. Don't hesitate to get these, they are so good
