ProMark Classic Forward 5A FireGrain Drumsticks, Lacquer Finished Drum Sticks, TX5AW-FG, Oval Wood Tip, Hickory - 1 Pair

I have purchased various drumsticks over the years and do have my favorites but the ProMark Classic Forward 5A FireGrain Drumstick I hesitated to buy for some time because of what I thought was its less than desirable aesthetic look and incredibly deceivable heavier look that turned out to be without a doubt a drumstick that every drummer needs to try, own and use in different applications. As described by ProMark it offers a very good mystifying balance but like no other drumstick I can say I own. At first, I couldn’t put my finger on what mesmerized me about ProMark’s Classic Forward 5A FireGrain all around weight and feel, particularly because it had a beefier like diameter in my small hands and I gravitate toward medium or medium thin drumsticks, like Zildjian’s 5A Hickory, which I happen to like very much and Tama’s 5A Oak Drumstick, which also has a nice weight and feel. The ProMark Classic Forward 5A FireGrain Drumstick differs from ProMark’s standard Forward 5A Hickory counterpart because it is so very subtly lighter, giving an intriguing “sense” of being somewhat esoterically hollow yet “hefty” and solid at the same time. The stainless texture provides the necessary grip without compromising the necessary sliding needed for dexterity of stick manipulation. The shorter and wider taper before the tip may be a contributing factor that achieves such favorable outcome with balance and feel. The tip circumference is bigger, which reduces cymbal definition and generates greater volume but also can provide drier texture to a cymbal’s shimmer and tone. The ProMark Classic Forward 5A FireGrain Drumstick is very compatible with drum pads, providing uniquely distinct sounds from various striking points of the stick and pads I so far tested it on, such as Evan’s Real Feel Double Sided Drum Practice Pad, Meinl’s logo black silicone drum pad and Prologix’s Red Storm, Green and Black foam drum pads. The butt of the stick is quite universal, not heavily clumsy and very functional allowing it to be used even as timbale sticks, for a more fuller Tito Puente like sound, a solid and clear “cascara” (the side of the shells) sound. while even using the drum tip for a lighter more defined sound on the timbale heads, cowbells and cymbal. The stick is heralded for its durability but it’s relatively new so the verdict is yet to be rendered on this characteristic. I am now ready to try experimenting with the ProMark Forward FireGrain 7A Drumstick with high expectations.

Awesome

These are my son's favorite sticks. Even though these are more for jazz (he plays rock) he likes the weight and length of them. He's tried a lot of 7A's and these seem to hold up the best, as well. He still goes through a lot sticks but that's more of a reflection on how hard he plays than on the durability of the drumsticks.

I've been a Promark user most of my drumming career, mainly wood tip and preferring the oak models....until these came out. These sticks are hickory, however since they are tempered, they last a bit longer than traditional hickory although not as long as oak, however the feel of holding these sticks has been the best out of any stick I have every played with. You get near the durability of oak but at the slightly lighter weight of hickory. The feel of these sticks is very natural and I've never had any issues holding on to them, in fact the grip is much better than the traditional varnished sticks and the tackiness does not change as your hands become warmer and sweatier. To me, these just feel exceptionally comfortable when holding or playing with them, they make you feel like they are natural extensions of your hands.....which is exactly what you want when playing drums in multiple musical applications - I can switch from blues to jazz to Latin beats to hard rock and I do not have to make adjustments in technique (e.g. fulcrum, grip style, etc...) to comfortably play in a different genre of music with these sticks.

I've always like ProMark sticks, but these have quickly become my favorite. The feel and rebound they give is the most comfortable I've ever felt. They look awesome, they are great quality for the price, they have an excellent grip, and can be used in a variety of different settings.

These sticks can take a beating but after a few weeks of pounding hard, they did break.

I usually use a Vic Firth 7A stick, and these are different in their ability to both take punishment and offer a more secure grip. They have a texture that is not completely smooth and that makes a difference. I bought a second pair.

Bought these for my granddaughter. Her favorite sticks.

What a great pair of sticks. Balance and weight is perfect and the resilience of these is amazing. As a metal drummer, previous sticks were being eaten through after about 2 hours use. These are currently on about 18hours and look mildly used. Don't hesitate to get these, they are so good
