Review: Exceptional drum sticks - Very nice sticks and have a very nice tactile feel with great rebound. The black coating is a nice touch and aides in grip and comfort. The 5B adds a little more power when making contact with the heads. Highly recommend Review: ProMark has raised the bar for drumsticks, again. - These sticks are amazing. ProMark really has made a new type of drum stick. It looks exactly the same as almost every other drum stick. However the feeling is different, from the balance to the coating. They are long sticks as well. Sound quality is great for cross sticking on the snare with a nice feel and a wonderful click. The grip coating is amazing - giving just enough hold to keep sticks from becoming missiles while not being gummy, attracting dirt or interfering with playing double stroke or buzz rolls. ## Features - ACTIVEGRIP: ActiveGrip solution drum sticks are engineered to get tackier as your hands sweat and body temperature rises. - HICKORY WOOD: Hickory is the most popular wood choice for drumsticks due to its resilience, responsiveness, durability, and classic feel - ACORN TIP: The reinvented acorn tip provides a larger sweet-spot for increased responsiveness and articulation - SPECS: 16" / 406.4mm Length and .595" / 15.1mm Diameter - MADE IN USA: All Promark drumsticks are designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA at our Texas facility to the most stringent quality controls in the industry ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01GJ476XY | | Best Sellers Rank | #436 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #5 in Drumsticks | | Body Material | Wood | | Color Name | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (5,008) | | Date First Available | June 3, 2016 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 3.17 ounces | | Item model number | R5BAG | | Material Type | Hickory | | Product Dimensions | 16 x 0.5 x 0.5 inches | | Size | 5b | ## Images ![Forward Rebound 5B ActiveGrip Drumsticks, R5BAG, Tacky Active Grip Finish, Black Drum Sticks, Acorn Tip, Hickory Wood - 1 Pair - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61A7bPULlsS.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional drum sticks *by R***N on January 24, 2026* Very nice sticks and have a very nice tactile feel with great rebound.

Looks great. *by A***R on December 22, 2025* Great quality and sturdy. Ease of use and size is perfect. Don't have drums because I live in an apartment. But got these for practice until I'm ready for a practice drum pad (less noise) I love these. I always wanted to learn drums. ## Frequently Bought Together - ProMark ActiveGrip Drumstick, Black, 5b - ProMark Drum Sticks - Classic 5A Drumsticks - FireGrain For Playing Harder, Longer - No Excess Vibration - Lacquer Finish, Oval Wood Tip, Hickory Wood - 1 Pair - ProMark Drum Sticks - Classic Forward 5A Drumsticks - Drum Sticks Set - Acorn Wood Tip for Larger Sweet Spot - Hickory Drum Sticks - Consistent Weight and Pitch - 1 Pair --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/32317399-forward-rebound-5b-activegrip-drumsticks-r5bag-tacky-active-grip-finish](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/32317399-forward-rebound-5b-activegrip-drumsticks-r5bag-tacky-active-grip-finish) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-24*
