5B drumsticks for heavier playing and broad use
If you want 5B drumsticks with more body than a 5A, but without the larger feel of a 2B, the Pro Mark TX5BW sits right in that middle ground. These drumsticks are aimed at the heavy hitter and work well for rock, pop and punk, while also fitting other situations where you want more control over volume and attack.
With a length of 16 inches and a diameter of .590 inches, the Pro Mark TX5BW gives you the familiar 5B size that works as a versatile general-purpose drumstick. The natural lacquer finish gives the sticks their natural look.
Hickory, oval tip and balanced response
Pro Mark makes these drumsticks from hickory, a popular wood choice because of its resilience, responsiveness, durability and classic feel. You notice that in the rebound: the stick comes back comfortably from the head without feeling sluggish.
The oval wood tip produces a dark, warm tone that suits multiple applications. The medium taper keeps response and rebound balanced, making these Pro Mark 5B drumsticks a strong option for drummers who want an all-round stick with extra mass.
Pro Mark TX5BW in practice
The Pro Mark TX5BW makes sense if a 5A feels too light and a 2B feels too large in your hands. That in-between position is exactly what makes this model appealing for drummers who play with power but still want control.
All ProMark drumsticks are made in the USA at the Texas facility under strict quality controls. At Magna Music, you can also count on advice from players themselves, which is useful if you want to compare different stick sizes.
