The most durable HICKORY drumsticks in PROMARK history! An innovative process for forging the exterior of the sticks in a 3,000°C flame creates the most durable HICKORY drumsticks in PROMARK's history. The FIREGRAIN series uses only the finest, strongest wood, carefully selected through advanced wood selection at our own sawmill. The tempering process also hardens the surface, giving it a unique appearance and enhancing the grain, enhancing the sound's definition and core. It also reduces damage from chips, nicks, and dents, extending the life of the sticks. And in our weight challenge, we've refined our manufacturing process to ensure consistent weight from pair to pair. While the industry standard for a balanced stick of the same size has been 40 grams, we've allowed a 5 gram tolerance for FIREGRAIN sticks. Your FireGrain sticks will feel nearly identical, no matter where you buy them. Material: Hickory Tip: Acorn Wood Length: 406mm Thickness: 13.5mm *Design and other specifications may be changed without notice.
