Maple Rebound 7A Long Acorn Tip, RBM535LRW

Product Description

The RBM535LRW is a pitch- and weight-matched pair of maple drumsticks in 7A thickness, built to ProMark's Select Balance concept. The long, tapering neck and rear-weighted balance give extra rebound and a light playing feel suited to dynamic playing.

• 16 1/2" length – half an inch longer than a standard stick
• .535" diameter, equivalent to 7A
• 3" long, tapering neck for good rebound
• Acorn wood tip for a warm, full attack
• Pitch-matched pair – tolerance of roughly a quarter tone step (about 6 Hz)
• Weight-matched pair – maximum 1.5 g difference between sticks

Rebound Balance – built for bounce

The Select Balance concept is built around two base models: Forward Balance and Rebound Balance. Forward has a shorter, thicker neck with weight shifted forward for more power and durability. Rebound – which this stick represents – instead has a longer, thinner neck with the balance shifted rearward. The result is extra rebound and a lighter playing feel, making the stick comfortable to play dynamically over longer sessions.

Two tip styles

The base models 7A, 5A and 5B are available with two tip styles: Teardrop (T) and Acorn (A). This stick has an Acorn wood tip, which generally gives a slightly slimmer neck compared to the equivalent Teardrop model. The article code reflects the stick's full construction – RBM535LRW breaks down to Rebound Balance (RB) in Maple (M), .535" thickness, Long neck (L), with an Acorn wood tip (W).

Matching for even rolls

Good pitch matching is essential for even-sounding rolls between the left and right stick. The RBM535LRW ships as a pitch-matched pair with a tolerance of roughly 6 Hz, equivalent to about a quarter tone step, and weight-matched with a maximum 1.5 gram difference between the sticks in the pair.

Who It's For

A good choice if you want a 7A stick with extra rebound and a light feel, for example in dynamic playing that calls for quick rebound without feeling heavy in the hand.
