ProMark Rebound 5A Long Acorn Tip

Product Description

The Rebound 5A Long Acorn Tip is a hickory drumstick from ProMark's Select Balance concept, built for players who want extra rebound and a lighter, more dynamic feel. The long, tapered neck shifts the weight balance further back compared to a standard 5A, giving faster rebound without feeling heavy in the hand.

• Long, tapered neck (3") for extra rebound
• Half an inch longer than a standard 5A stick
• Wooden Acorn tip for a warm, full attack
• Pitch- and weight-matched pairs
• Made from dense, high-quality hickory

Rebound Balance – longer neck, lighter feel

ProMark splits the Select Balance line into two base models: Forward and Rebound Balance. Forward has a shorter, thicker neck with the weight shifted forward for more power and durability. Rebound, which this stick belongs to, instead has a longer, thinner neck (3 inches) with the balance shifted back. The result is extra rebound and a lighter playing feel, especially for dynamic playing.

Acorn tip – slimmer neck, warmer tone

Within each base model there are two tip styles: Teardrop and Acorn. They differ slightly in neck profile – the Acorn Rebound has a somewhat slimmer neck than the equivalent Teardrop model. This stick has a wooden Acorn tip, giving a warm, full attack on both snare and cymbals.

The stick's DNA in the part number

The full designation RBH565LAW tells the whole story: Rebound Balance (RB) in Hickory (H), 0.565" diameter, Long (L), Acorn tip (A) in wood (W). The 0.565" diameter matches the standard 5A thickness, but with a neck that's half an inch longer than the standard stick.

Market-leading matching

The Select Balance concept is built on strict manufacturing standards. Each pair is weight-matched within a maximum difference of 1.5 grams, and pitch-matched within a tolerance of max 6 Hz – roughly a quarter tone. Good pitch matching is essential for snare rolls to sound even between the left and right stick. ProMark also owns its own sawmill and controls the entire production chain, and for every tree harvested, five new trees are planted.
