Promark 5B Orange Wood Tip Classic Forward Drum Sticks

The Promark TX5BW-Orange drum sticks are a vibrant and durable variation of Promark's popular 5B Classic Forward model. They offer the same trusted performance characteristics of a standard 5B hickory stick, with the added visual flair of a non-toxic, water-based orange finish.

Classic 5B Feel with a Pop of Color

These sticks are based on the widely used 5B size, which is known for being a standard diameter drumstick for "heavy hitters." It offers more power and durability than a 5A, making it excellent for rock, pop, punk, and other genres where a robust sound is required, while still providing good control. The "Classic Forward" design means they feature a short taper, contributing to a forward-weighted feel for increased power and direct impact.

The most distinctive feature of the TX5BW-Orange is its bright orange finish. This is applied using a specially formulated water-based, toxin-free, and carcinogen-free paint, ensuring it's safe for drummers and the environment. The paint adds a unique aesthetic to your setup 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.

Durable American Hickory Construction

Like other Promark Classic sticks, the TX5BW-Orange is crafted from American Hickory. This wood is highly favored in drumstick manufacturing due to its exceptional resilience, responsiveness, and durability. It provides a natural, comfortable feel in the hand, allowing for consistent grip and excellent rebound.

Warm and Articulate Oval Wood Tip

These sticks are equipped with a versatile oval-shaped wood tip. This tip shape is designed to produce a dark, warm, and full-bodied tone across the entire drum kit and cymbals. The oval tip offers a generous contact surface, ensuring good articulation and projection, making it suitable for a wide array of musical styles.

Unrivaled Consistency and American Craftsmanship

Promark ensures superior consistency through their proprietary ProMatch process. This advanced system rigorously sorts sticks by weight and pitch, guaranteeing an unrivaled level of consistency from stick to stick, and pair to pair. This commitment to quality means drummers can depend on a uniform feel, balance, and sound every time they pick up a new pair of Promark sticks. All Promark drumsticks are proudly designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA at their Texas production facility.
