ProMarkClassic Forward 5A FireGrain Drumsticks, Lacquer Finished Drum Sticks, TX5AW-FG, Oval Wood Tip, Hickory - 1 Pair

These are my son's favorite sticks. Even though these are more for jazz (he plays rock) he likes the weight and length of them. He's tried a lot of 7A's and these seem to hold up the best, as well. He still goes through a lot sticks but that's more of a reflection on how hard he plays than on the durability of the drumsticks.

Great drum sticks, great feel, love the texture. Would definitely recommend.

They are more durable than regular drum sticks. Smaller than 5A and are quite lite.

These are great sticks and work with my drum set well. I’m still getting used to hickory vs maple but no the end, they sound great and should last a while (depending on how hard I hit those cymbals!)

These sticks are great! The 7A size has a nice light feel in the hand and allows me to control the dynamics and gives me dexterity when used on an acoustic kit. They bring out great tone in the drums and cymbals. I used them in church within both soft songs and songs that build up to hard hits. I was able to control the dynamics throughout each song very well. I can hit the drums pretty hard and not be afraid of them breaking because they are durable. I am also able to move around the kit quickly because of the lightness of the 7A size. If your style of music requires you to hit hard most of the time, you probably should get 5A or bigger or a size you perfer to be safe about not breaking them. However, these sticks are very durable considering they're 7A. I love them. I will have to give them four stars only because I just got them and I don't know how well they'll hold up over time. Other than that, they are perfect.

I am a church drummer and have tried many sticks over the past few years. I have went from the ahead's with the replaceable tips to different wood types. These sticks last me quite a while and is a nice looking stick as well. I am a heavy hitter and don't always hit the cymbals correctly at time but these sticks hold up. The weight is perfect for me, but if I could design a stick it would be this one but maybe a inch or so longer. Overall great stick.

After 1.5 years of drumming, and breaking all my stick in the first month, these are the best stick I ever had! I would recommend this to any drummer! 👍

Fantastic drumsticks. Solid and heavier weight for ultimate thrash. Great stability and ease of handling. Same size as typical drumsticks just a little more solid. Great value
