Promark Select Balance Drumsticks

My first contact with Promark was in 1997. I was watching a Modern Drummer Festival that featured then Pat Metheny drummer Paul Wertico (Google Paul Wertico Modern Drummer Festival 1997). The guy played with fire and creativity and bought tones out of the kit I’d never heard. The highlight for me was when he covered his kit in a bed sheet and started hitting it with these red plastic tubes. I had to have a pair, whatever they were. After some research, I found and ordered my first pair of Promark Tubz. I still have them. In 2011, D’Addario purchased Promark, and they have continued the tradition of innovation that Herb started back in 1957. Promark have the tightest weight and pitch tolerance in the industry. They also pride themselves on being on the forefront of sustainability by planting five trees for every one they cut down. Keeping with their innovative past, Promark released the Select Balance Range in 2015. This simple, but ground- breaking concept has changed the drum stick game!
