ProMark Rebound ActiveGrip R5AAG 5A Drumsticks, Acorn Tip, Black

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 Amazon. 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.

Sticks appear good quality and nicely weighted

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.

Extraordinary grippy good for all genres and over all good quality look amazing bet versatile

Fantastic action from these.

Bought as a Christmas gift for my great nephew. He is very pleased.

Good

A great light stick with enormous grip - great grip for cooler conditions but tore my hands in a 2.5 hour gig in very warm conditions.

Baquetas perfectas para batería eléctrica. No resbalan en absoluto gracias al material con el que están fabricadas. Indicadas tanto si tocas bastante como si son tus primeras.

I have very dry hands and have always had issues gripping my sticks. I've tried almost everything out there, dipped sticks, tapes, and for a while was using stick wax which worked well but I got tired of cleaning it off my rims. I've always been a fan of Promark sticks so gave these a try. I was hesitant at first because I did not like how the grip covered the entire stick and was concerned how that would sound on cymbals and if it would flake off easily, etc. I've been using these for two weeks and have been very pleased. The sound is great, I like the slightly larger acorn tip. And the coating is holding up very well. Nothing flaking off on my cymbals, pretty much just looks like a regular stick. The grip is great. It felt a little powdery at first, but I just washed them quickly with warm water and dish detergent and they are nice and tacky, but not too tacky. I think these would work well for any situation, whether you have dry hands like me or get sweaty hands. They seem very durable, great balance and weight. My other concern was the wood tip. While I like to use them to perform, I prefer to practice with nylon as they last longer. I've had issues with wood tips chipping after a while. These seem very durable and are holding up well, so we'll see over time. Overall, I highly recommend if you have issues gripping your sticks.

Super

Très légère. Fabuleux grip.. c'est mon modèle préféré en 5A et 5B.
