For the last 10-15 years, I have been using multi-bagged, no name sticks. They are cheaper and last just as long or longer than name brands. I now use drummers gloves(again), and after asking a lady at church if she could sew some places up for me on my gloves; she gave me a $25 gift card for desertcart to buy another pair of gloves. I did and also bought this pair of sticks with leftover money. Good sticks, I have to say! I have played with nearly every name brand stick that has been available since the 70's, when sticks were CHEAP! But now it's generic baby! But these are good sticks. I prefer nylon tip over wood tip any day. They last longer and I prefer the crispier higher pitched sound from nylon tips over wood's more dull sound. Nylon tip is the way to go. plus I prefer a thick shaft all the way up to nearly the tip before they taper to a smaller diameter. These have a good thickness nearly to the tip as I prefer. I have used Quantum 3000's, and man those are like "tree-trunks" compared to these here. The older you get, the less intense you play I guess.LOL! Not me,though, I'm 53 yrs old and play drums in my church, and we are Apostolic/Pentecostal and if any of you know anything about Pentecostal churches; some songs, we throw down baby! None of this quiet and reserved playing like many denominational churches; and some even without drums! Imagine that! Praising the Lord without drums! Well anyway, these are good sticks. Would I ever buy anymore? Yes, if I was given another gift card, or if someone bought them for me. I will never pay this kind of price out of my own pocket. Remember I said, generic sticks baby! Play for Jesus! Review: Great drumsticks, period. - I have owned, played (and broken) a ton of drumsticks over the years I have played drums. Drumsticks can be an inspiration and a motivation towards personal excellence and satisfaction. Once in a while, I find a pair that kicks my simple drum style into a new dimension. And these are it, Pro Mark's Forward 5a sticks are sheer energy and magic in a drumstick for me. A delight to play, fast, light with a reservoir of power waiting to be tapped. I have pushed them like the primitive rock player I can be and painted gentle cymbal textures with them. Try a pair yourself and see if they speak to you. ## Features - HICKORY WOOD - Hickory is the most popular wood choice for drumsticks due to its resilience, responsiveness, durability, and classic feel - OVAL, NYLON TIP: The ProMark Classic oval nylon tip provides a brighter, more articulate tone suited for multiple applications - LENGTH: 16" - DIAMETER: .551" - 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 | B0002D0R6M | | Best Sellers Rank | #584 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #9 in Drumsticks | | Body Material | Wood | | Brand Name | ProMark | | Color | Lacquer, Nylon Tip | | Connector Type | no connector | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (947) | | Finish Type | Lacquered, Unfinished | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00616022105281 | | Hand Orientation | both | | Included Components | Drumsticks | | Item Dimensions | 16 x 1.1 x 0.55 inches | | Item Type Name | Drum Set | | Item Weight | 4 ounces | | Manufacturer | D'Addario &Co.

For the last 10-15 years, I have been using multi-bagged, no name sticks. They are cheaper and last just as long or longer than name brands. I now use drummers gloves(again), and after asking a lady at church if she could sew some places up for me on my gloves; she gave me a $25 gift card for Amazon to buy another pair of gloves.

Drumsticks can be an inspiration and a motivation towards personal excellence and satisfaction. Once in a while, I find a pair that kicks my simple drum style into a new dimension. And these are it, Pro Mark's Forward 5a sticks are sheer energy and magic in a drumstick for me. A delight to play, fast, light with a reservoir of power waiting to be tapped.

Try a pair yourself and see if they speak to you. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another solid model of the 747 *by E***N on May 16, 2022* Glad I have these nylon tip drum sticks on hand for when I play acoustic drums. I've been using 747 sticks for decades. However, I am not crazy about the Forward weighting of this specific design. They probably will serve me well when I need to punish acoustic drums heads and cymbals, but they are for sure noticeably heavier in front than my standard 747 models. I will be careful to select the standard 747 models in the future for most of my drumming applications. ## Frequently Bought Together - ProMark Drum Sticks - Classic Forward Hickory 5A Drumsticks - Drum Sticks Set - Drum Accessories - Wood Drumsticks for Adults & Youth - Oval Nylon Tip - 1 Pair - ProMark Drum Sticks - Classic 5A Drumsticks - FireGrain For Playing Harder, Longer - No Excess Vibration - Lacquer Finish, Oval Wood Tip, Hickory Wood - 1 Pair - promark LA Specials - 5A Drumsticks - Drum Sticks Set for Acoustic Drums or Electronic Drums - Oval Nylon Tip - Hickory Drum Sticks - Consistent Weight and Pitch - Made in the USA - 3 Pairs --- ## 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.nz/products/4413123-drum-sticks-classic-forward-hickory-5a-drumsticks-drum-sticks-set](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/4413123-drum-sticks-classic-forward-hickory-5a-drumsticks-drum-sticks-set) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
