This lighter version of Mike McIntosh's MM1 model provides the same dynamic response and control as the original stick, but with smaller dimensions and the added benefits of FireGrain. The large round tip creates a full-bodied tone, and the shortened length makes it perfect for younger players or smaller hands. With the enhanced durability of FireGrain, this is the ideal stick for beginners and indoor drum lines.. FireGrain is a revolutionary heat-tempering process that transforms ordinary hickory drumsticks into precision tools with unprecedented durability. While keeping their original weight, balance, and attack, ProMark FireGrain sticks allow drummers to hit harder and play longer, naturally. No excess vibration, no space age gimmicks, just natural hickory, hardened by flame.
