The Promark Classic Forward 5B FireGrain is a thickened, heavy-duty alternative to standard 5A models, engineered to withstand rigorous playing styles without sacrificing the organic feedback of a traditional wooden stick. 

By utilising an advanced thermal hardening process, Promark have ensured that these sticks provides are highly durable and resistant to chipping and splitting during high-impact performances.

Thermal-Tempered Hickory & Mid-Range 5B Framing

The core of this stick is constructed from selected American hickory that undergoes a patented FireGrain flame-treatment process. 

This technique uses intense heat to crystallise the woodâs natural sugars and harden the grain structure, significantly increasing resilience against heavy rimshots without introducing synthetic weights or altering natural vibrations. 

Featuring a .590-inch (15mm) diameter and a full 16-inch (406.4mm) length, the 5B dimension offers a robust, substantial grip that bridges the gap between lighter jazz sticks and bulky rock models.

Acoustic Oval Tips & Digitally Verified 

On the striking end, a classic wooden oval tip creates a broad contact area, producing a deep, warm, and highly consistent resonance across both cymbals and acoustic drumheads. 

To prevent any structural variations between individual purchases, every stick is processed through Promark's proprietary ProMatch system. 

This method analyses and groups the sticks based on exact weight and resonant pitch, ensuring that each pair is perfectly balanced and uniform from the factory.
