Maple Rebound 5A Long Acorn Tip, RBM565LRW

Product Description

The Maple Rebound 5A Long Acorn Tip from Promark is a maple drumstick with a round wood tip, built on the Select Balance concept for extra rebound and a light playing feel. The stick is half an inch longer than a standard stick, giving a bit more reach without feeling unwieldy.

The stick measures 16.5" in length with a diameter of 0.565" (equivalent to 5A) and has a long, tapering 3" neck. That longer neck and the rear-shifted weight balance are the whole point of the Rebound Balance model: extra rebound and a dynamic, responsive feel that suits players who want to vary their attack without fighting the stick.

The Select Balance Concept

Promark builds the Select Balance line in two base models with distinct characters: Rebound Balance (RB) and Forward Balance (FB). Rebound Balance, which this stick belongs to, has a long (3") tapering neck and extra rebound, suited to dynamic playing. Forward Balance instead has a shorter neck (2.25") and a more front-heavy balance, giving more power and durability. The line is offered in several thicknesses, including 7A, 5A and 5B.

Matched Pairs

Every pair is pitch-matched to a tolerance of max 6 Hz, roughly a quarter tone step – essential for even-sounding rolls. Pairs are also weight-matched to a tolerance of max 1.5 grams between the two sticks, so both sticks in the pair feel and sound alike.

Manufacturing and Environment

Promark runs its own sawmill and controls the entire production chain from timber to finished stick. The company also has a stated environmental commitment: for every tree felled, five new trees are planted.

Who It's For

A good choice if you want extra rebound and a light playing feel for dynamic playing, rather than maximum power and durability – for that, the Forward Balance models in the same line are the better pick.
