Common Questions About Promark Drumsticks
Whats the difference between Forward and Rebound Balance?
Forward Balance uses a shorter 2.253 taper shifting weight toward the tip for powerful front-weighted feel perfect for rock and aggressive playing. Rebound Balance uses a longer 33 taper shifting weight toward the butt end for quick rear-weighted response ideal for jazz, fusion, and speed playing. The taper length determines weight distribution even with identical stick dimensions.
How does ActiveGrip work?
ActiveGrip is a patented heat-activated coating that becomes tackier as hands warm and perspire during performance. The coating responds to body heat, progressively increasing grip security without tape, gloves, or powder while maintaining natural wood feel. It requires no adjustment period and activates naturally through hand contact.
What makes FireGrain more durable?
FireGrain uses proprietary flame-tempering process hardening hickory wood fibers at cellular level without adding weight. The heat treatment significantly increases resistance to chipping and breaking, extending stick lifespan while maintaining natural hickory playing characteristics. Perfect for heavy players requiring enhanced durability.
Which balance should I choose for my playing style?
Choose Forward Balance if you play aggressive rock requiring powerful attack and rim shots. Select Rebound Balance if you play jazz, fusion, or technical styles requiring speed and finesse. Choose Classic if you need versatile traditional feel handling diverse genres. Our working drummer staff can demonstrate these differences helping you select optimal balance for your technique and musical requirements.
Whats the advantage of Shira Kashi Oak over hickory?
Shira Kashi Japanese oak is denser than hickory providing extreme durability and significantly extended lifespan. Perfect for heavy players in metal, hardcore, and aggressive styles requiring maximum stick longevity. Promark was the first American company to successfully market Japanese oak sticks. The increased density also creates powerful attack characteristics and enhanced projection.
