Pair of signature drum sticks with oval nylon tips that were designed by progressive drummer Mike Portnoy (Dream Theatre). Each stick features long, narrow taper which provides a fast and responsive feel. Sticks are made from American hickory, which is the most popular wood choice for drumsticks due to its resilience, responsiveness, durability and classic feel. Nylon tips deliver a brighter, more articulate sound. All Promark drumsticks are designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA. Length: 428 mm, diameter: 13.48 mm.
