ProMark Drum Sticks 5A - Classic Forward Hickory 5A Drumsticks - Accessories for Drummers - Oval Wood Tip - 4 Pack

Best type stick for playing your e-kit with long term care of the mesh heads in mind.

I couldn’t be happier with the ProMark Classic Forward Hickory 5A Drumsticks! As a drummer who plays a mix of genres, these sticks have become my go-to choice for every session.The hickory wood construction provides an excellent balance of durability and responsiveness. The 5A size is perfect for both precision and power, making them versatile enough for everything from jazz to rock. The oval wood tip delivers a warm, rich tone on cymbals and a clean attack on drums, which is exactly what I need for live performances and recording.I also love how comfortable these drumsticks feel in hand. The forward weight distribution helps me achieve consistent control without feeling fatigued, even during longer sessions. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, these drumsticks are a fantastic choice for both adults and youth.ProMark has really nailed it with this product—an absolute must-have for any drummer’s kit! Highly recommend!

Maybe I'm not as strong as I think I am or maybe I naturally play lighter using these sticks, but after a gig not only did this manage to help me bring the volume level down without changing how I play, but they looked like I barely used them afterwards! I'm not a hard hitter, but I have managed to break a brand new 5A before the end of a 45 minute set (though probably just a fluke).These sticks held up through two 90 minute sets and looked like I had barely touched them. I can't explain it. The 5As I use are also Promark Hickory, but there's just something about these 7As.Don't get me wrong, any gigs where I'm allowed to be louder, I'm picking the 5As. But for playing quieter without changing my dynamics or switching to rods or brushes, these sticks are great.

This has been my fave drum stick. Been using promark since 2017. Not too big not too thick. I use this with my td02kv roland drums. I also got this for my nephew and he likes it whether to use in electric drums I gave him (td4kp) or acoustic drums. He said its very comfortable

ProMark (PM) doesn’t disappoint- used their Shira Kashi 5A sticks for a long time. Rock solid.Recently switched to PM 2A’s to work on finger control and blast beats. Was using a pair of older Rimshot 2A’s that felt too light.PM’s are thicker/heavier and give you a workout. Definitely strengthen your hands and endurance overall. Although a heftier stick, they’re very responsive to dynamics of soft to loud.

Great sticks, can’t go wrong with Promark!

I have bought only one pair of Promark sticks in the past ten years or so. I had been quite satisfied with Vater, Regal Tip and Vic Firth. But I decided to grab a pair of these 5A Promark sticks (oval wood tip) from Amazon, especially because they were at a special low price. They are everything I'd hoped they would be. They felt great in my hands and I loved the finish. The weight was perfect too. The sticks were also flawless; perfectly straight, and they were exact twins of each other. I'm a fan of the logo too. Though logos are unimportant, I tend to look at what the stick printing looks like and where it is on the stick, and Promark does it just right.I like a good clean sound on my cymbals, and these gave me that sound. Though it was subtle, I was comparing the sound with my other 5A sticks, and I liked the Promark better. I felt like I got a bit more articulation than my other 5A's. These are just fantastic all around sticks! I couldn't be happier.

Unlike other brands, the nylon tip if bigger. That's why I only reorder this model when needed.
