Hickory is the most popular wood choice for drumsticks due to its resilience, responsiveness, durability, and classic feel.

The ProMark Forward F5AAG 5A ActiveGrip Drum Sticks have been desinged with the Select Balance system. The Forward version of this stick is to optimize power and speed with a front-weighted feel.

These sticks also feature a heat activated grip coating that’s engineered to get tackier as a players hands sweat and their body temperature rises. It applies thin like a traditional lacquer adding no additional diameter or weight to the stick. Unlike most grip alternatives on the market ActiveGrip doesn’t tear up players hands or cause restrictions to range of movement or technique.
