Promark's Rebound 5B (.595") Drumsticks have the same thickness as the industry's standard 5B sticks, making them appropriate for drummers who need to play with some weight. Made of very durable hickory, they'll last you quite a while.
These sticks feature a round bead for extra articulation and clarity, especially on cymbals, and are great for lighter styles that don't demand a ton of volume, but do require clarity.
A long 3" taper puts more of the weight of the stick towards the back of your hand, increasing the ease of stroke rebound and giving you ultimate control. It will feel like it's doing a lot of the work, while you just sit there and play.
