These promark rebound 2b firegrain hickory drumsticks are crafted from american hickory which is renowned for its responsiveness and strength and is a common choice for drumsticks. Like other sticks from promark these rebound 2b ones feature a firegrain finish where they have been hardened by flame to improve their sound and durability. Many drummers prefer this finish as it results in less fraying around the rimshot point and they will also dent rather than break down like a standard hickory stick would do. Their reinvented acorn tip offers a larger surface area between the stick and drum skin offering increased responsiveness and articulation. Whats more each stick goes through vigorous quality control checks ensuring they are all exactly the same this includes weight sorted precision cut weight matched and pitch perfected.
