FireGrain Technology
FireGrain drumsticks utilize a revolutionary heat-tempering process that transforms ordinary hickory drumsticks into precision tools with unprecedented durability. Keeping their original weight, balance, and feel, Promark FireGrain sticks allow drummers to hit harder and play longer, naturally. No excess vibration, no space age gimmicks, just natural hickory, hardened by flame.
ProMatch Process
- Weight sorted: wooden dowels are sorted, separated, and batched together based on weight
- Precision cut: using precise methods, raw dowels are cut, shaped, lacquered, and treated, yielding fully formed sticks
- Weight matched: finished sticks are matched into pairs by weight, adhering to the strictest possible tolerances
- Pitch perfect: all sticks are matched to the tightest pitch tolerances within any pair
