Heavy-duty 2B FireGrain hickory drumsticks with oval tip and forward-weighted balance for powerful, durable performance.

The ProMark Classic Forward 2B FireGrain Wood Tip Hickory Drum Sticks are engineered for drummers who demand power, projection, and unmatched durability. Crafted from American hickory, these sticks feature a 16" (406.4mm) length, 0.630" (16mm) diameter, and an oval wood tip, delivering a dark, warm tone suitable for rock, metal, and heavy pop. The forward-weighted balance and short taper enhance force into the drum, providing punchy attacks and robust rimshots, while the patented FireGrain heat-tempering process hardens the hickory for exceptional durability without altering weight or feel.

ProMark’s ProMatch process ensures consistent weight and pitch across pairs, offering reliable balance. Users praise their tank-like strength, with tips resisting chipping for weeks and sticks lasting months under heavy use, though some note dents or splitting at the taper after extended aggressive playing. Manufactured in the USA at D’Addario’s Texas facility, these sticks embody ProMark’s 65-year legacy of quality, making them ideal for hard-hitting drummers seeking longevity and precision.
