Review: pretty impressive- finally - So my experience with Promark sticks has been bad, to say the least. Over decades of playing, every time i have tried a promark branded stick they broke like twigs before I could get any nicks in them -and this goes for even timbale sticks. It has been disappointing because some models were perfect for the applications. these (the anton Fig model) made it past the 40 minute mark. Now- that's just the durability bit.- of course drumsticks are a personal reference and an application thing-as far as genre and sound and style and so forth. I use several different models of sticks depending on the piece of music. so when I read the specs on the Anton Fig model, things like the length and taper and balance seemed to suit certain areas of playing that I could use. They have a decent balance and good rebound -much due to the round ball style tip. This is also great for use on the cymbal bell, as well as nice definition on the cymbal body as well. for the most part I use longer sticks like these, and while they come in a little bit shorter than another model I use, the strike point ( the place on the tip that makes contact with the drum or cymbal surface) is exactly the same on both because of the more rounded tip as opposed to the arrow like shape of the other. I like the feel of the grip material as well. And they are more durable than the promark I've used in the past, and a number of other models I use from other makers. the body of the stick shows very little wear after 40 minutes (and I put the sticks through the heavy test) and the tips look untouched- which for me is almost more important- having started in the heyday of nylon tips, but of course needing to move to wood because they just don't make every model with plastic tips, I will add 2 or 3 coats of lacquer to all new wood tip sticks that i buy to give them a little more resistance to chipping. I didn't do thst to these because it was a test run-and I didn't want to take the time if these were going to break within 20 minutes like all the previous promarks I've had. So -I can recommend these highly if all the specs meet what you need.
Review: The sticks themselves amazing 10/10 BUT desertcart IS NOT - Bought this as a christmas gift [originally] for my best friend & fellow musician [drummer] he is always super appreciative anytime I get him something but when I mentioned they we're Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater's signature [and explained the cool active grip tech/and why mike designed em that way or what the product info said haha] he was psyched, snatched em up and started paying on his backpack. He likes them I know nothing about drums other than what I know from being a studio engineer/producer/instrumentalist and osmosis, but he noted they we're weighted more than his usual sticks [I would assume reg 5bs not sure] and he really liked the grip tech - that stuff is really cool I could even see the advantages just holding them myself... All in all 10/10 for the company! ... NOW here's where the issue is I'm not going to rate these sticks poorly, for the non-care thats clearly put into storing [at this point any musical equiptment, even sticks - going to sweetwater or musicians friend &c - its always a bad idea!] these sticks in the bin, I'd assume haphazardly just tossed into a bin of them... because I had to send them back 3 times [and the third time I said screw it and hope my buddy doesn't care] First batch: they looked fine, until I was going waiting for my man to drop buy and just giving them a once over, and moving the packaging ever so slightly [in a way that REALLY made it look like someone just moved the packaging up, its a cardboard sleeve, to cover the defect and send it out NEW....cute] revealed a long scratch [ie through the black active grip technology], rotating the sticks I notice some more dings, and when I took them out all the way - there were atleats 3-4 dings in the black through to wood small but noticable... whatever, send em back - stuff happens! Second pair: Not as bad as the first ones but there were dings, a small scratch [through the active grip black tech] and looking at the bottom of the sticks they were scuffed like they had been dropped on the rounded bottom of the stick again damaging the, pretty thick mind you, active grip black "tech" thats on these promark sticks... part of the selling point! Sent it back... this time miffed Third Pair: Same issues, but this time I'm like man I feel terrible because this is a gift for my good friend, yes, he won't notice or care, but I DO! If It was just my sticks, I probably would've said screw it and kept the second pair but i wanted to get my friend ones that were NICE, signature series from an artist I know he likes or atleast thats a prolific player, and I wanted them to last [I'm forever seeing my mans piles of broken sticks, and if Im gonna pay good money I want them to be sturdy, to last as long as possible, to not have any structural integrity issues that I cannot see because they're internal perhaps!] 10/10 FANTASTIC STICKS highly recommended on all levels, price points great etc. LESSON: DO NOT BUY THESE or ANY OTHER MUSICAL PIECE OF EQUIPMENT [even a small accessory] FROM desertcart <-- They do not care enough, period. Yes I used the official buy it [not even the buy new, and desertcart is the first and cheapest - which obstensibly is the same thing but no I did not even do that, nor would I ever buy musical equiptment from a third party through desertcart... but honestly THIRD PARTY SELLERS ARE MORE COMPETENT THAN THIS [most of them] but clearly desertcart isn't

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent sticks!
*by E***C on October 4, 2025*

These are my favorite sticks. They are lighter than my Vic Firth 5A sticks, and I have not dropped a stick since buying them. Not too sticky, as I originally feared. Just right. I will buy more as these wear, but they are holding up really well so far.
