How to Buy the Best Drumsticks for You





What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


Lose yourself, not your sticks





With Promark ActiveGrip sticks, you’ve got what it takes to handle any gig with confidence and control. These drumsticks have a heat-activated grip coating that becomes tackier as your temperature rises and your hands get sweaty, allowing you to lose yourself in a performance without the fear of dropping a stick. ActiveGrip sticks are comfortable and won’t tear up your hands or affect your technique. The coating is no thicker than a regular lacquer coating and won’t transfer to your drum rims, cymbals, or heads. Pick up a pair of Promark ActiveGrip Drumsticks from Sweetwater and experience the difference.





FireGrain treatment increases durability





Claus Hessler is tough on sticks, which is why he uses FireGrain drumsticks. Promark FireGrain hickory drumsticks are heat tempered for insane strength. Better still, the tempering process doesn’t affect the weight, balance, or playing feel. FireGrain drumsticks handle the most demanding play styles, meaning you spend less time and money replacing your sticks and more time doing what you do best: making music.





Weighted for finesse and agility





Are you looking for a stick to enhance your chops? Promark’s Claus Hessler signature drumsticks are weighted in the rear for better finesse and cleaner note separation. The modified acorn tip produces a full cymbal sound and has the articulation needed to stand up to fast patterns. Drummers around Sweetwater note that double strokes and ghost notes have a nice rebound for an all-hickory stick, which is something technically minded players are sure to appreciate.
