ProMark R7AFG Rebound 7A FireGrain Hickory Drumstick - Acorn Tip

The patented FireGrain heat-tempering process in the ProMark R7AFG transforms standard hickory into a highly resistant drumstick that maintains its original 16-inch length and.535-inch diameter while delivering exceptional breakage resistance. Driven by controlled flash-heating, this treatment hardens the wood fibers without altering the stick’s center of gravity, allowing drummers to sustain high-velocity passes and heavy backbeats without rapid tip warping or shaft fractures.

Its long taper geometry pairs with a rounded acorn tip to provide crisp cymbal articulation and predictable snare cross-sticking. The Rebound balance point sits near the middle of the shaft, promoting fast recovery between strokes and reducing cumulative forearm strain during extended live performances or recording sessions. A clear lacquer finish preserves the natural wood texture while protecting the surface from rack hardware scratches and humidity fluctuations.
