Promark

collapse expand iconDescription

The Promark FireGrain 2B drumsticks are specially crafted to withstand the demands of rock and metal drumming. Promark's patented flame-tempering process hardens select hickory dowels without compromising their natural feel or musicality. The result is a stick that can pound out thunderous beats night after night while retaining the weight, balance, and oval-tip response that 2B players crave. Whether you're hammering out double bass rolls or crushing cymbals at the climax of a blistering solo, FireGrain 2Bs have the brawn and finesse to match your fiercest playing.

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

Most drummers have resigned themselves to replacing sticks frequently, but Promark's flame-tempering technology changes the game. By briefly exposing hickory dowels to intense heat, Promark is able to dramatically strengthen the wood at a cellular level. The sticks retain their familiar shape, diameter, and 16" length but gain unparalleled durability and impact resistance. Say goodbye to splintering tips and cracked shoulders—FireGrain 2Bs are built to withstand the sonic assaults of the world's hardest-hitting drummers.

Classic Hickory Feel, Synthetic-Strength Performance

With their beefy 0.630" diameter and marching band-inspired profile, FireGrain 2B sticks already have a substantial, authoritative feel. Promark's flame-tempering process enhances their strength exponentially without compromising that feel or musical response. The hickory dowels remain lightweight, sensitive, and acoustically rich, so drummers can continue executing intricate fills, ghost notes, and cymbal swells with pinpoint control.

Responsibly Crafted, Obsessively Consistent

Promark has been handcrafting drumsticks for over 60 years and is obsessive about quality. Only properly cured hickory dowels that meet their stringent standards are selected for FireGrain sticks. The flame-tempering process is carefully monitored to achieve maximum durability without altering playability. Before shipping, every stick is individually weighed and inspected to ensure flawless balance and responsiveness. The result is a stick that not only withstands heavy-duty playing but also feels utterly consistent and familiar. This uncompromising approach to quality is why drummers around the world trust Promark.

These sticks are great, however....

These drumsticks are probably the most durable on the market. They hold up as promised by ProMark and the color is unique. However, the color can also rub off on drumheads but can be removed with a rag or something. I recommend these for heavy-hitting drummers and these go well with durable drumheads. I have Aquarian Force Ten Tom heads and the Triple Threat Snare head. These sticks pack a punch, so don't use these on electronic drum sets cause the pads will show significant signs of wear.

    The Promark FireGrain Drumsticks show 4 different choices.  Can you tell me what the difference is?  Purchasing as a gift.

    They each are different size and shapes. Drummers will have a preference as to which they want since it affects how they play.
