These sticks offer a thin, comfortable coating that won’t tear up your hands or transfer to your drumheads and cymbals. ProMark ActiveGrip Coating ProMark’s patented heat-activated grip coating gets tackier as hands sweat and body temperature rises, giving players complete control of their sound while adding no additional weight to the stick. Crafted for Finesse And Agility A rear-weighted balance gives Rebound the responsive, readily-articulated feel for precise control. Signature ActiveGrip 420x Mike Portnoy I developed a heavier stick to accommodate the heavier playing I’ve been doing. I love ActiveGrip. Signature ActiveWave 570 Glenn Kotche ActiveGrip is key for me since I sweat a lot when I play. They allow me to find more control. Signature ActiveGrip 595 Rich Redmond I've been playing ProMark sticks since 2003! My signature sticks are versatile and long-lasting. GET REWARDED PLAYING PROMARK JUST GOT MORE REWARDING!

Review: Best sticks I've owned in 22 years of drumming. - 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 desertcart. 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. Review: Look amazing - Extraordinary grippy good for all genres and over all good quality look amazing bet versatile ## Features - HICKORY WOOD: Hickory is the most popular wood choice for drumsticks due to its resilience, responsiveness, durability, and classic feel - ACORN TIP: The reinvented acorn tip provides a larger sweet-spot for increased responsiveness and articulation - LENGTH: 16" / 406.4mm - DIAMETER: .565" / 14.4mm - MADE IN USA: All Promark drumsticks are designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA at our Texas facility to the most stringent quality controls in the industry ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01G8JG1V8 | | Best Sellers Rank | 400 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 7 in Drum Sticks | | Body Material | Hickory Wood, Wood | | Brand | ProMark | | Brand Name | ProMark | | Colour | Black | | Country of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,092 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00616022131570 | | Included Components | 2 Drumsticks | | Item Dimensions | 40.6 x 1.3 x 1.3 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Promark ActiveGrip Drumstick | | Item Weight | 0.09 Kilograms | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 40.6 x 1.3 x 1.3 centimetres | | Item weight | 0.09 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | D'Addario | | Material | Hickory | | Model Name | Forward Rebound 5A | | Model Number | R5AAG | | Model name | Forward Rebound 5A | | Part Number | R5AAG | | Set Name | Pair | | UPC | 616022131570 | | Unit Count | 2 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ProMark - **Colour:** Black - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 40.6 x 1.3 x 1.3 centimetres - **Material:** Hickory - **Model name:** Forward Rebound 5A ## Images ![ProMark Drum Sticks - Forward Rebound 5A - ActiveGrip For Secure, Comfortable Grip - Gets Tackier As Your Hands Sweat - Active Grip Finish, Acorn Tip, Hickory Wood - 1 Pair - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61RygTtB7-S.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the difference between the rebound stick and the forwards?** A: As said above the taper size is different between the two with The Rebound being longer but the rebound 7a pop off the drums and symbols a lot better for a more controlled sounding drum roll and hat hat fills...The Forwards are for more of a power drumming style while the Rebound is for more of a finesse/Agilitized style of drumming... I’m a Rebound 7a guy and have no intention of ever using another type of stick other than these Promark active grip Sticks... They are amazing **Q: Are these the lightest sticks available?** A: Probably not but I will say that they are very light. **Q: Acorn tip?** A: Yes, these sticks have an acorn shaped tip on them. They sound good! You can see what I'm talking about here - https://musicalpros.com/beginners-guide-drum-sticks/ On that page they show you what various tips look like. **Q: Why does the description say 5B, but the photos show 5A?** A: The 5B are a tad thicker and heavier. I use both, the 5A seem faster after using 5B’s. I like them both. The clear are same as the black. Same feel and “stickyness”. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best sticks I've owned in 22 years of drumming. *by T***R on 12 January 2026* Best sticks I've ever owned.
