## 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”.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ProMark 2B ActiveGrip
*by A***S on 24 August 2025*

Very nice grip. Nice and wheighty, very durable, sounds great on a kit

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Legendary sticks, good grip, but wildly different weights
*by N***S on 9 November 2022*

I'm getting back into a bit of drumming after 30+ years and have bought a few different brands of 5A sticks. I bought these Promarks because I used that brand all those years ago (influenced, as I was, by my admiration for the drumming of Neil Peart). These sticks are made from hickory and have a coating (called Activegrip(TM)) that's claimed to become (deliberately) sticky when the hands get sweaty. I've not used them for long enough to properly assess that claim, but they certainly seem more secure in my hands than other sticks without such a coating. Individually, the sticks have a good feel and balance in use, but there is a bit of a difference between the two. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was, so weighed them on some kitchen scales. Whereas my other sticks differ in weight no more than 2-3 grams across each pair, these are WAY different ... one stick weighs 48g whereas the other weighs 58g! I feel that ~20% difference when using them. There were also some white marks on the sticks when they arrived. These seemed to be embedded into the coating material. I managed to scratch most of it off, and it is only cosmetic, but it was still a bit annoying. All in all, I was a bit disappointed. This may (or may not) have contributed to me mostly reaching for my pair of Vic Firths when I want to do a bit of practice.
