Rebound 5B Long Acorn tip

Product Description

The Rebound 5B Long Acorn Tip is a hickory drumstick from ProMark's Select Balance concept, built for players who want extra rebound and a lighter feel in hand. Its long, tapering neck and wood Acorn tip make it well suited to dynamic playing that calls for quick shifts in intensity.

• Long, slim neck gives extra rebound and a lighter feel
• Wood Acorn tip for a warm, full tone
• Pitch-matched and weight-matched pair for even rolls
• Half an inch longer than a standard stick

Construction

The stick is 16.5" long with a diameter of .595", matching the thickness of a 5A. The neck is 3" long and tapering, which gives the stick its distinctive rebound. The tip is shaped as an Acorn in wood, generally giving a slightly slimmer neck than the equivalent Teardrop model.

The Select Balance concept

The Rebound 5B Long Acorn Tip belongs to ProMark's Select Balance concept, where every pair is carefully matched during manufacturing. Tolerance is a maximum of 1.5 grams weight difference and a maximum of a quarter tone step (roughly 6 Hz) in pitch between the two sticks in a pair - critical for even-sounding rolls.

The concept is built around two base models. Forward Balance has a shorter, thicker neck (2.25") with weight shifted forward, giving more power and durability. Rebound Balance - which this stick belongs to - instead has a longer, thinner neck (3") with the weight balance shifted back for extra rebound.

Beyond the balance model, there are also two tip types: Teardrop (T) and Acorn (A). They differ slightly in neck shape, with Acorn generally having a somewhat slimmer neck than the equivalent Teardrop model. The model code reflects the stick's full build - for example, RBH595LAW breaks down to Rebound Balance (RB), Hickory (H), .595" thickness, Long neck (L), Acorn tip (A), in Wood (W).

Manufacturing

ProMark operates its own sawmill and controls the entire production chain, from timber to finished stick. The company also has an environmental commitment: for every tree cut, five new trees are planted.

Who It's For

A good choice if you want extra rebound and a lighter feel in your hand, for example in dynamic playing that requires quick changes in intensity.
