Wooden dowels are sorted, separated, and batched together based on weight.
Using precise methods, raw dowels are cut, shaped, lacquered, and treated, yielding fully-formed sticks.
Finished sticks are matched into pairs by weight, adhering to the strictest possible tolerances.
All sticks are matched to the tightest pitch tolerances within any pair.
Many drummers use sticks with 5A or 5B thickness and a standard length of 16”. Most commonly, drummers use drumsticks made from hickory, since that’s the most popular wood choice, but you’ll also find maple and, occasionally, oak sticks. Often drummers use sticks with acorn-shaped tips, which may be made from wood or nylon.
5B drumsticks are heavier than 5A. Less commonly, you’ll find 5AB sticks, which are somewhere in between.
With their standard length, rear-weighted balance, and acorn tip, ProMark Rebound 5A drumsticks are the best option for beginners. They’re great for a variety of styles and will sit well in most player's hands.
5A is the most popular thickness of drumstick so you’ll likely be happy with that. The standard length of 16” is also a good bet for most drummers and unless otherwise indicated, your 5A stick should be standard thickness.
