Description
The ProMark Classic Forward 5A FireGrain gives drummers the familiar 5A feel with added toughness baked right into the wood. ProMark’s FireGrain process is a patented heat-tempering treatment that hardens the hickory through controlled flame exposure, strengthening the stick’s fibers from the inside out rather than adding coatings or altering the shape.
Because the tempering happens at the material level, these sticks retain the same weight and balance drummers expect from a standard 5A. There’s no added vibration dampening or unusual engineering here — just hickory that’s been hardened to resist wear, chipping, and breakage under heavier playing.
The oval wood tip delivers a warm, rounded tone across cymbals and drumheads alike, making it a versatile choice for a range of playing styles. With a .551″ (14mm) diameter and 16″ (406.4mm) length, this Forward 5A sits comfortably in the classic 5A category, offering a familiar grip and rebound for drummers who don’t want to relearn their technique just to get more durability out of their sticks.
