Description
The ProMark Forward 5B in raw hickory strips away the lacquer for a stick that feels closer to the tree it came from. That unfinished surface gives players a natural, slightly textured grip rather than the slicker feel of a coated stick, which many drummers prefer for control during long sets.

Hickory remains the go-to wood for sticks because it flexes without snapping easily, soaks up shock well, and holds up through heavy playing – qualities that have made it a standard choice across genres for decades. The oval wood tip on this model rounds out the tone, delivering a warm, full sound on cymbals and drumheads alike rather than a sharp, thin click.
Every pair goes through ProMark’s ProMatch process, which checks pitch and weight so the two sticks in your hand actually match each other – and so a new pair feels like the last one you wore out. These sticks are made in the USA, and since packaging and stick artwork can shift slightly from batch to batch, don’t worry if yours looks a touch different from the photo.
Good for drummers who want a classic 5B feel with a rawer, more organic hand feel and a versatile tone that works in the studio or on stage.
