Pro-Mark Tim Fairbanks FireGrain Snare Sticks

The first marching drumstick in Promark's portfolio to feature FireGrain, a revolutionary heat-tempering process that turns ordinary hickory drumsticks into precision tools with unprecedented durability, the Tim Fairbanks marching stick features a long, 4 1/4” taper as well as a rear taper at the butt end of the stick to produce a great balance and feel in the hands. The diameter at the handle is kept at .708" for a comfortable grip and then gradually increases to .755" in shoulder of the drumstick for improved durability where rim shots are played. The stick also features a large round bead for a full, articulate sound from the drum. Tim Fairbanks is an internationally in-demand clinician, designer, arranger and adjudicator.
