080-40998370The Promark TX2BW drum stick is a powerful and popular option within Promark's "Classic Forward" series, designed for drummers who hit hard and need maximum volume and projection.
Here's a detailed breakdown of its features:
The "Classic Forward" series is characterized by its design to give the stick a distinct front-weighted feel. This is achieved through a short, quick taper, which effectively shifts the balance point more towards the tip of the stick. This forward-weighted balance provides a powerful attack, enhancing projection and allowing drummers to achieve more volume and impact with less effort. It's an excellent choice for genres that demand strong backbeats and a cutting, articulate sound, such as rock, metal, pop, and country.
These sticks come in the 2B size. The 2B is one of the thickest and heaviest drumstick diameters available from Promark (even thicker than a 5B), making it ideal for drummers who require the most power, highest volume, and greatest durability. It offers a very solid, substantial feel in the hand and delivers immense projection, making it a top choice for loud musical contexts and for drummers who are known for their heavy hitting.
These sticks are meticulously crafted from American Hickory, the industry standard and most popular wood for drumsticks. Hickory is prized for its excellent balance of resilience, responsiveness, and durability, providing a classic, natural, and reliable feel that can withstand demanding play.
The "W" in TX2BW signifies a wood tip. These sticks feature an oval-shaped wood tip. This classic and highly versatile tip design is known for producing a dark, warm, and full-bodied tone across the entire drum kit and cymbals. The oval shape offers a balanced contact surface, ensuring good articulation, clear projection, and defined cymbal sounds, making it suitable for a wide variety of musical styles, particularly those requiring power.
The TX2BW typically comes with a natural lacquer finish. This clear protective coating allows the natural grain and feel of the hickory wood to come through, providing a smooth and comfortable grip. As it's a natural finish, there are no concerns about color transfer to drumheads or cymbals.
Promark employs its proprietary ProMatch process to ensure unparalleled consistency. This advanced system rigorously sorts sticks by weight and pitch, guaranteeing unrivaled consistency from stick to stick and pair to pair. This commitment to quality means drummers can rely on a consistent feel and sound every time they pick up a new pair. All Promark drumsticks are proudly designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA at their Texas facility, adhering to stringent quality controls.
