Review: Best sticks I've owned in 22 years of drumming. - Best sticks I've ever owned. Yes, the coating does come off after a few heavy gigs - but I'm yet to find drumsticks that are comfortable where this doesn't happen. Oh, and I did have a defective pair that broke (one stick) within 24 hours - but this was easily solved by desertcart. In terms of weight, they're well balanced and ideal for Roland V-Drums. The coating doesn't get too rubbery and end up causing blisters - which is a huge advantage over similar sticks from other brands. I cannot recommend these sticks enough for any digital drummers. Review: Look amazing - Extraordinary grippy good for all genres and over all good quality look amazing bet versatile ## Features - HICKORY WOOD: Hickory is the most popular wood choice for drumsticks due to its resilience, responsiveness, durability, and classic feel - ACORN TIP: The reinvented acorn tip provides a larger sweet-spot for increased responsiveness and articulation - LENGTH: 16" / 406.4mm - DIAMETER: .565" / 14.4mm - MADE IN USA: All Promark drumsticks are designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA at our Texas facility to the most stringent quality controls in the industry ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01G8JG1V8 | | Best Sellers Rank | 419 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 7 in Drum Sticks | | Body Material | Hickory Wood, Wood | | Brand Name | ProMark | | Colour | Black | | Country of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (3,041) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00616022131570 | | Included Components | 2 Drumsticks | | Item Dimensions | 40.6 x 1.3 x 1.3 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Promark ActiveGrip Drumstick | | Item Weight | 0.09 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | D'Addario | | Material | Hickory | | Model Name | Forward Rebound 5A | | Model Number | R5AAG | | Part Number | R5AAG | | Set Name | Pair | | UPC | 616022131570 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ProMark - **Colour:** Black - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 40.6 x 1.3 x 1.3 centimetres - **Material:** Hickory - **Model name:** Forward Rebound 5A ## Images ![Drum Sticks - Forward Rebound 5A - ActiveGrip For Secure, Comfortable Grip - Gets Tackier As Your Hands Sweat - Active Grip Finish, Acorn Tip, Hickory Wood - 1 Pair - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61RygTtB7-S.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the difference between the rebound stick and the forwards?** A: As said above the taper size is different between the two with The Rebound being longer but the rebound 7a pop off the drums and symbols a lot better for a more controlled sounding drum roll and hat hat fills...The Forwards are for more of a power drumming style while the Rebound is for more of a finesse/Agilitized style of drumming... I’m a Rebound 7a guy and have no intention of ever using another type of stick other than these Promark active grip Sticks... They are amazing **Q: Are these the lightest sticks available?** A: Probably not but I will say that they are very light. **Q: Acorn tip?** A: Yes, these sticks have an acorn shaped tip on them. They sound good! You can see what I'm talking about here - https://musicalpros.com/beginners-guide-drum-sticks/ On that page they show you what various tips look like. **Q: Why does the description say 5B, but the photos show 5A?** A: The 5B are a tad thicker and heavier. I use both, the 5A seem faster after using 5B’s. I like them both. The clear are same as the black. Same feel and “stickyness”. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best sticks I've owned in 22 years of drumming. *by T***R on 12 January 2026* Best sticks I've ever owned.
