## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between the rebound stick and the forwards?**
A: As said above the taper size is different between the two with The Rebound being longer but the rebound 7a pop off the drums and symbols a lot better for a more controlled sounding drum roll and hat hat fills...The Forwards are for more of a power drumming style while the Rebound is for more of a finesse/Agilitized style of drumming... I’m a Rebound 7a guy and have no intention of ever using another type of stick other than these Promark active grip Sticks... They are amazing

**Q: Are these the lightest sticks available?**
A: Probably not but I will say that they are very light.

**Q: Acorn tip?**
A: Yes, these sticks have an acorn shaped tip on them. They sound good! You can see what I'm talking about here - https://musicalpros.com/beginners-guide-drum-sticks/ On that page they show you what various tips look like.

**Q: Why does the description say 5B, but the photos show 5A?**
A: The 5B are a tad thicker and heavier. I use both, the 5A seem faster after using 5B’s. 
I like them both. The clear are same as the black. Same feel and “stickyness”.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Go-To sticks
*by P***C on January 2, 2025*

My son takes drum lessons with a mainstream music school. Part of their program is to build confidence and get the kids to perform live on a stage at local venues every few months. He still gets a bit nervous and mentions his hands sweat (I secretly worried about him accidentally flinging the sticks). I did some searching and saw mostly grip-tape products, and was concerned that wrapping the sticks with tape may add thickness and weight and throw his playing off a bit. Then I found these and since they had good reviews, I picked him up a pair to try. I wanted to make sure his teacher was ok with these or possibly give a reason why they weren't a good idea, but was pleased when he exclaimed "oh those are what I use when I perform!" That was a good sign. My son's been using these about 6 months for both practice and performing, with good results. To avoid having to adapt to different sticks, he decided to use them as his everyday sticks.They are just slightly tacky when you first hold them but as your hand sweats, they actually grip better. Other than that they play and feel like any standard stick (5A in his case). After a few months the ends of the sticks do show wear from rim hits (he's still learning) but the playing and sound is not affected. The photo is after 6 months and shows wear from hitting the rim, but the grip area is still perfect. The actual tips do not have the coating and are bare wood. He has another live show coming up so I threw a new pair in his Christmas stocking to use for performances that don't look so beat up. He'll continue using his original pair and have a newer pair for shows. A few of his fellow drummers have brightly colored sticks just to be different and flashy. He's not a glamor kid, so the cool but serious black color fits him more while also providing the non-slip functionality.He's happy with these, so I can see them continuing to be his go-to sticks for some time.NOTE: I purchased this item on Amazon for full price and have no affiliation to the seller. I try to write helpful, unbiased and insightful reviews because I also read reviews prior to making my own buying decisions. I notice many reviews lack helpful information, are too brief and don't support their opinions with examples. Writing useful reviews helps pay it forward.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very happy and worth the money
*by S***A on August 4, 2025*

I like these sticks. The no-slip grip material covers the entire body (not just the hand grip area) and the sticks are weightier, providing a good feel that I really like.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Feel and Comfort!
*by M***S on January 28, 2025*

I’ve been using the Promark ActiveGrip 5A Rebound drumsticks for a few weeks now, and I have to say they’ve made a noticeable difference in my playing. The grip is fantastic — as I start to sweat, the ActiveGrip technology kicks in and the sticks actually become tackier, giving me a secure hold throughout my entire session.The feel of these sticks is incredibly comfortable, and the hickory wood provides a solid balance of durability and flexibility. The acorn tip offers a smooth, articulate sound on both the snare and cymbals. They’re great for both fast and heavy playing, and I love how responsive they feel.If you're someone who struggles with grip or just wants a more secure feel without having to constantly adjust, these sticks are definitely worth checking out. They’ve improved my drumming overall, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase!
