ProMarkActiveGrip Drumstick, Black, 5b

Great set of sticks

Best grip sticks I've used by far.

These sticks wear on your hand a lot more compared to normal wooden sticks. obviously they don't slip out your hands as much, but when your hands begin to sweat on them they begin to feel strange, and definitely start to mash your hands up. also the coating rubs off as you play, but so far i haven't seen any visible damage on the stick. they are okay for short bursts but definitely harder to use for longer periods compared to normal wooden sticks. Good size and weight, just not for me. I'm sure someone would like them.

These are very good sticks imo , the coating helps you keep hold of them when you’re pushing the beat. They are robust and in my experience, more durable than other sticks I’ve used. They are certainly my go to stick at this moment in time , heartily recommend them

Extraordinary grippy good for all genres and over all good quality look amazing bet versatile

My wooden sticks kept flying out of my hands. These don't. Also I was using 5B which are slightly thicker but these feel better and are actually heavier. I highly recommend them.

Doesn't feel like the grip paint is as effective on this last pair. Even once warm mid gig they still feel smooth as if just painted black.Still great sticks but quality seems a little off sadly. Maybe just a dud pair?

These were for my fourteen year old great grandson who is a very keen Drummer, who may I add, is a very fine youngster who deserves the occasional gift for no particular reason. He was delighted with them and told me he noticed quite a big difference when he first used them and that is praise indeed. Money well spent.
