Promark 5B Yellow Wood Tip Rebound Drum Sticks
Reliable 5B hickory drumsticks with a wood tip, rebound balance, and a bright yellow finish for easy visibility.
The Promark RBH595AW-YELLOW drum sticks are a vibrant and high-performance option for drummers. They combine the popular "Rebound" balance series with a striking yellow painted finish, offering both excellent playability and a distinctive visual flair.
Here's a breakdown of its features:
"Rebound" Balance for Finesse and Agility
The "Rebound" series is designed to optimize stick response and feel. These sticks feature a long taper (typically 3 inches), which shifts the weight more towards the butt end of the stick. This rear-weighted balance provides enhanced rebound, making the sticks feel lighter and more agile in the hand. This design is particularly beneficial for drummers who emphasize finesse, ghost notes, fast patterns, and overall fluidity, as it allows the stick to bounce off surfaces with minimal effort.
Versatile 5B Size
While the search results initially showed 5B for RBH595AW, the specific part number RBH595AW typically indicates a 5B size, whereas RBH565AW indicates a 5A. However, some search results for RBH595AW-YELLOW specifically mention "Rebound 5B Painted Yellow Hickory Drum Sticks" with a diameter of .565". Given the user specifically mentioned "RBH595AW-YELLOW", and the search results show both 5A and 5B being associated with "RBH595AW-YELLOW" in different contexts (likely a typo in some listings or a slight variation in product coding), I will provide the specs for 5B as that is explicitly linked to the .565" diameter and yellow painted finish in multiple reliable sources when referring to this particular product code.
The 5B size is often considered the most versatile and popular drumstick diameter. It strikes an excellent balance between weight and agility, making it suitable for a broad range of drummers and musical genres.
Premium American Hickory Construction with Painted Finish
These sticks are crafted from American Hickory, the most popular wood for drumsticks due to its exceptional resilience, responsiveness, durability, and classic feel.
The "YELLOW" in the product name refers to the stick's bright yellow painted finish. This finish is applied using a specially formulated water-based, toxin-free, and carcinogen-free paint, making it safe for drummers and the environment. The painted finish adds a unique aesthetic without compromising the stick's feel or performance. Importantly, the tip of the stick is left unpainted to prevent color transfer to drumheads and cymbals.
Articulate Acorn Wood Tip
These sticks feature an acorn-shaped wood tip. This tip shape is designed to provide a larger "sweet spot," enhancing responsiveness and articulation across the entire drum kit and cymbals. The acorn tip is known for producing a full, rich, and articulate cymbal sound, making it versatile for various musical styles.
Unrivaled Consistency and American Craftsmanship
Promark employs its proprietary ProMatch process to ensure unparalleled consistency. This system rigorously sorts sticks by weight and pitch, guaranteeing unrivaled consistency from stick to stick and pair to pair. All Promark drumsticks are proudly designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA at their Texas facility, adhering to stringent quality controls.
