Pro Mark RBH595AW 5B Rebound Hickory

Sticks

Very high quality

Very recommended!

Go grab a pair

We drummers are spoiled, and we like our gear our way. I myself is that way, and was previously used to playing a 5A with rounded tip. Then i got used to playing a 5B with nylon. I liked the feel and heavyness of 5Bs, but i dont like the nylon tip. So i decided to try these ones, the acorn tip pierces the ride just perfect, and i get a lot of rebound around the kit. So if you are a metal player looking for that perfect stick for blastbeats and other shenanigans, go grab a pair

I usually had an issue with Pro-Mark sticks and that was that they feel somwhat more front heavy. These feel well balanced in my hands and so they are slowly becoming my sticks of choice.

Perfect

I'm a bit weird when it comes to sticks. I love 5B's, but like really light sticks. So these are the perfect compromise. They are heavy enough that they are more than suitable for heavier genres, but also not so heavy that you can't be gentle with them.

Thanks to them being slightly more back heavy, I can hold the stick a little further back and get a little more reach without extending quite as far. It's a very small difference, but you really feel it.

As for durability, I play very hard rimshots constantly, and it takes quite a while before the stick starts getting chewed up in the middle. In the 2 or more years I've been using these, I've rarely had a stick break.

I would also recommend people try both this version of the stick and the pair with the teardrop tip. After using both I prefer these as they are a little more "pingy" on the ride and just generally feel nicer to me.

Overall I really like these sticks and can not fault them.

I will absolutely continue to use these forever. Unless they stop making them, in which case I will be very sad.
