Designed with Stephen Creighton, world renowned drum sergeant of the St. Laurence O’Toole Pipe Band, this is the first Promark product to hit the pipe band market. The gradual taper of this drumstick coupled with its maple construction give Stephen the rebound, feel and consistency that performing on a high-tension pipe snare demands. ActiveGrip is Promark’s patented heat activated grip coating that’s engineered to get tackier as a players hands sweat and their body temperature rises. It applies thin like a traditional lacquer adding no additional diameter or weight to the stick. Unlike most grip alternatives on the market ActiveGrip doesn’t tear up players hands or cause restrictions to range of movement or technique.
