I’m a Rebound 7a guy and have no intention of ever using another type of stick other than these Promark active grip Sticks... They are amazing **Q: Are these the lightest sticks available?** A: Probably not but I will say that they are very light. **Q: Acorn tip?** A: Yes, these sticks have an acorn shaped tip on them. They sound good! You can see what I'm talking about here - https://musicalpros.com/beginners-guide-drum-sticks/ On that page they show you what various tips look like. **Q: Why does the description say 5B, but the photos show 5A?** A: The 5B are a tad thicker and heavier. I use both, the 5A seem faster after using 5B’s. I like them both. The clear are same as the black. Same feel and β€œstickyness”. ## Frequently Bought Together - Promark ActiveGrip Drum Sticks - Rebound 5A Drumsticks - For Secure, Comfortable Grip - Gets Tackier As Your Hands Sweat - Hickory Wood - Acorn Tip, Black, One Pair - Promark TX5AW-FG FireGrain Classic 5A Drumsticks, Oval Tip - Vic Firth American Classic 5A Drum Sticks --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/32317394-promark-forward-5a-activegrip-hickory-drumsticks-acorn-tip-1-pair](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/32317394-promark-forward-5a-activegrip-hickory-drumsticks-acorn-tip-1-pair) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-30*
