Description
The ProMark Classic Forward 5A Hickory Drumstick with Oval Wood Tip is a versatile, everyday pair for drummers who want balance, clarity and dependable feel across styles. The familiar 5A size keeps things comfortable whether you are moving from pad to kit or playing long rehearsals and shows, while the forward balance gives strokes a touch of extra weight for clean articulation on drums and cymbals. From first band rehearsals to experienced players needing a reliable workhorse, these sticks suit pop, rock, worship and light jazz, delivering a warm, musical response. If you prefer a natural wood tip and a classic length, this model covers your essentials with confidence and control.
Built from resilient hickory, the sticks absorb shock well and stand up to regular practice. The oval wood tip produces a rounded ride sound with clear stick definition and a full voice on toms, so your grooves sit nicely in the mix. A short taper and forward weighted design put more mass towards the front for a solid, authoritative stroke at lower effort, helping you play with consistency at a range of dynamics. The smooth lacquer finish feels comfortable in the hand and resists grime, and each pair is carefully weight matched at the factory for a dependable, even response.
For UK tuition and school ensembles, the 5A profile is a trusted choice that teachers recommend because it supports good technique without feeling bulky. The length and diameter offer a natural reach around the kit, encouraging relaxed grip and controlled rebound on practice pads and acoustic drums alike. Robust wooden tips and durable hickory make them suitable for classroom use, peripatetic lessons and home practice, offering strong value over time. Whether you are working through graded material, preparing for concerts or playing regular gigs, the Classic Forward 5A delivers consistency you can rely on. Each pack includes one matched pair so you can start playing straight away.
