16 1/2" ProMark Rebound Long Acorn tip

Product Description

Rebound 7A Long Acorn is a hickory drumstick with a rounded wood Acorn tip and a neck half an inch longer than a standard stick of the same diameter. It's part of Promark's Select Balance concept, built for extra rebound and a lighter playing feel. A good choice if you play dynamically and want a bit of extra reach.

Rebound Balance. Light, bouncy feel

The stick belongs to the Select Balance concept, where every pair is carefully matched for a consistent feel between the two sticks. The Rebound Balance model has a long, tapering neck of 76 mm (3") with the weight shifted toward the back of the stick, giving extra rebound and a lighter playing feel suited to dynamic playing. This sets it apart from the Forward Balance model, which has a shorter neck (2.25"), is more front-weighted, and delivers more power and durability.

Acorn tip and extra-long model

The tip is a rounded wood Acorn tip. Compared to the Teardrop tip, the Acorn version of the Rebound model has a slightly slimmer neck. The stick measures 419 mm (16 1/2") in length and 13.6 mm (.535") in diameter, corresponding to the 7A size. Half an inch longer than a standard stick of the same diameter.

The stick's DNA in the part number

The base models 7A, 5A and 5B come in two variants: Teardrop Tip (T) and Acorn Tip (A). The full part number tells you everything about the stick. Balance type, material, diameter in inches, and tip type. For example, a pair marked FBH535TW breaks down as Forward Balance (FB), Hickory (H), .535" diameter, Teardrop tip (T), wood (W), while FBH535AW is the same model with an Acorn tip (A). If you just want the model name, 7A works fine on its own.

Careful matching and manufacturing

Every pair is pitch-matched to a tolerance of max 6 Hz, roughly a quarter tone, and weight-matched to within 1.5 grams between the two sticks in a pair. Good pitch and weight matching gives more even rolls and a more consistent playing feel. Promark runs its own sawmill and controls the entire production chain from mill to finished product, and plants five new trees for every tree harvested.
