ProMark Hickory 5A "The Natural" Nylon Tip Drumstick

Unfinished Feel. Unmatched Control. Classic Response with a Modern Edge.

For drummers who want a stick that feels like an extension of their own hands, the ProMark Hickory 5A “The Natural” delivers tactile control, refined balance, and crisp articulation—all with zero compromise. Crafted from select American hickory, this pair is part of ProMark’s renowned “The Natural” series, offering an uncoated finish that enhances grip, feedback, and response.

This 5A model hits the sweet spot between agility and power—perfectly suited to rock, pop, jazz, worship, or studio work. Its nylon tip brings added definition to cymbals, offering brilliant highs and improved durability, especially for players who want more clarity in ride patterns and hi-hat articulation.

“The Natural” sticks are favoured by players who demand authentic feel and total control. With no lacquer to interfere, the raw wood finish allows your hands to breathe, making these ideal for drummers who play long sessions or under hot stage lights. The natural grain of the hickory remains exposed, giving you a textured grip that improves with time, not slicks out.

At Musicmaker, we often recommend these to gigging drummers and students alike—those who want a reliable, versatile stick with that bare, broken-in feel straight out of the box.
