Drumsticks Promark Mike Portnoy Signature ActiveGrip 420X

Promark Mike Portnoy Signature ActiveGrip 420X drumsticks are designed for drummers who value technicality, durability, and comfort during long performances. With a length of 16.5 inches (419 mm), these sticks provide improved reach and control, while the 0.565-inch (14.4 mm) diameter allows for maneuverability without sacrificing power.

Made from American hickory, the most popular wood for drumsticks, they combine resilience, durability, and balanced weight. The oval wooden tip softly transfers the attack to both plastics and cymbals, making the sound warmer and more musical, suitable for a wide range of genres.

The main feature of this model is the ActiveGrip coating, which is activated by the warmth of your hands. It provides a secure grip without the need to squeeze the stick harder and does not cause discomfort, unlike classic rubber or adhesive coatings. This thin layer does not affect balance or weight and remains imperceptible to the touch until activated.
