collapse expand iconDescription

The Promark Mike Portnoy Autograph Series drum stick is a hickory stick that is slightly smaller in diameter than a hickory 5A with a 747 taper and a nylon tip. As the drummer for the band Dream Theater, Mike skillfully steers the course though an inventive blend of melodic rock and odd meters.

    The sticks shown in the picture are the latest M.P. signature sticks which are different from his previous one. The other reviews here are quite old and yes, the older model would chip off after heavy use. The new sticks are different, they can take a beating without the wood chipping off. These are my go-to sticks!! Love em'

  • Almost perfect

    I like the feel of the sticks. I like the weight and the length of it. there was only one problem for me. I went through these sticks very quickly. I play mostly metal and rock and the wood would start chipping and would break very easily. I'm a very heavy hitter so I wouldn't recommend them to anybody who hits hard like me.

  • A little to skinny.

    These are not bad, but they are easy to drop. I still prefer the Pro-mark 747s. These sticks are just a little to skinny and they wear out fast. The pink writing is a little fancy, but if Portnoy designed them they must be good. By the way Mike Portnoy is not the drummer for Dream Theater and has not been for years. He is the drummer for the Winery Dogs. Rock on!!

  • Amazing sticks, not too durable.

    So I got these stick this past Christmas. The first time I played with them, I noticed a lot of dents in them. And just today, at band practice with a few friends, one of my sticks snapped almost completely in half and on the other stick, the head snapped off. If you're gonna be playing hard, like myself, I don't suggest these sticks. Aside from the bad thing about these sticks, they are extremely light and good for rolls and sound good on the cymbals with the head. But they don't last long if you play hard!

  • love these sticks
