Promark R5AAG Drum Sticks

Grip That Gets Better When You Sweat. Performance That Never Slips.

The Promark R5AAG is not just a drum stick — it is a performance upgrade. Part of Promark's Rebound series, the R5AAG features the revolutionary ActiveGrip technology that actually improves your grip as your hands get warmer and sweatier. No more slipping sticks mid-performance. No more losing control at the most critical moment.

Key Features

• Model: R5AAG — Rebound 5A, ActiveGrip
• Material: Premium American Hickory
• Tip Shape: Acorn Tip for warm, full cymbal tones
• Size: 5A — the most versatile size for all genres and playing styles
• Grip: ActiveGrip coating — sweat-activated for a firmer hold as you play harder
• Made in USA — engineered to international touring standards

Sound and Performance

The acorn tip delivers a warm, rich tone on cymbals with a well-defined attack on snare and toms — the same tonal character that has made the 5A profile a favourite across rock, pop, jazz, and fusion. The Rebound series is designed for optimal balance and rebound, giving you a faster, more responsive feel that reduces fatigue and improves your overall technique over time.

ActiveGrip Technology

The standout feature of the R5AAG is its ActiveGrip coating — a moisture-activated finish that becomes tackier as your hands warm up and perspire. This means the harder you play and the longer your set, the more secure your grip becomes. It is an innovation designed specifically for live performers and high-intensity players who cannot afford to lose control of their sticks on stage.

Build Quality and Durability

Built from select-grade American Hickory, the R5AAG offers the strength, density, and shock absorption that professional drummers demand. Each pair is individually weighed and pitch-matched to ensure both sticks perform identically. The ActiveGrip coating is applied uniformly across the grip zone for consistent feel throughout the life of the stick.

Ideal For

• Intermediate to Professional drummers who perform live and need a reliable, non-slip grip
• Drummers who play in warm or humid conditions, including Indian summer gigs and stage performances
• Players looking to upgrade from standard sticks to a performance-focused option
• All genres — rock, pop, jazz, fusion, and everything in between

Why It Stands Out

Standard drum sticks offer no solution for sweaty hands — you either tape them up or risk dropping them mid-set. The Promark R5AAG solves this problem with ActiveGrip technology that works with your body, not against it. Combined with pitch-matched American Hickory and the trusted 5A profile, it is one of the most practical and performance-ready sticks available in India today.
