Maple Rebound 5A Acorn, RBM565RW

Product Description

Maple Rebound 5A is a maple drumstick from ProMark's Select Balance line, built for players who want strong rebound and a light, dynamic feel. The long, tapering neck shifts weight toward the back of the stick, giving extra bounce compared to a front-heavy design. Diameter matches classic 5A.

• Long, tapering neck for extra rebound and dynamic playing
• Acorn wood tip for a warm, full tone
• Pitch-matched pair, max 6 Hz difference, about a quarter tone
• Weight-matched pair, max 1.5 grams difference
• Made under full in-house control, from sawmill to finished stick

Two models in the Select Balance line

ProMark's Select Balance line comes in two versions with different feel: Rebound Balance and Forward Balance. Rebound Balance, which this stick belongs to, has a long 3" neck with the weight balance shifted rearward, giving extra rebound and suiting dynamic playing with a wide range of stroke strength. Forward Balance instead has a shorter 2.25" neck and is more front-heavy, giving more power and durability but less rebound. The line is offered in several thicknesses, including 7A, 5A, and 5B.

Matched pairs for even rolls

Solid snare playing depends on both sticks in a pair behaving alike. ProMark pitch-matches each pair to within 6 Hz, roughly a quarter tone, and weight-matches pairs to within 1.5 grams. That keeps stroke and rebound feeling even no matter which hand you play with.

Manufacturing and environmental commitment

ProMark runs its own sawmill and controls the entire process from timber to finished stick, ensuring consistent quality across batches. The company plants five new trees for every tree it harvests.

Who It's For

A good choice if you want a light feel and strong rebound for grooves and fills rather than maximum power and durability. If you prefer a front-heavy stick with a shorter neck, the Forward Balance model is the better fit.
