Scott Johnson FireGrain Marching Snare Drumsticks

I bought the ProMark Scott Johnson FireGrain marching sticks, and they are seriously impressive. These are clearly made for drummers who play hard and need sticks that can keep up. The FireGrain treatment really makes a difference—they feel stronger and more durable than standard hickory sticks. The weight and balance are excellent, and the large round tip gives a solid, full sound with great articulation. I also noticed there’s very little excess vibration, which makes long practice sessions much more comfortable on the hands and wrists. The lacquer finish gives a nice grip without feeling sticky, and the sticks hold up incredibly well even after heavy use. These are ideal for marching, drumline practice, or anyone who plays with power and precision. If you’re looking for high-quality, long-lasting marching sticks that can take a beating and still perform, these are a total win. I’d absolutely buy them again!

If these sticks are good enough for one of the best drum lines to ever hit the field and required for use by one of the best instructors in the world, they are good enough for me. I am old DCI drummer and still love to throw down notes. Having a great pair of sticks is just as important to effective application of technique as the drummer is himself. Sticks are the tools we use to make our instruments work. The DC-17 is a slightly less beefy stick then its brother the DC-50. It provides excellent response and is excellently weighted. The stick is a marching drum stick. It is not for use on a drum set. If you are looking for a well-balanced, well-weighted marching stick that offers the player great rebound, the ability to play with massive down stroke as well finesse, SCOJO's DC-17 stick is for you. For the young rudimentalist percussionist, this stick will require some good chops to use but the great thing about this stick is that by using it, you will develop your chops. Win-Win!! Order a few pairs. At $7.00, you need a couple of pairs of these sitting around the house to use when your buddies come over and you want to rehash your favorite licks from previous halftime shows, DCI shows, or WGI. Great job Promark and Scott Johnson.

Hold up great for marching

It feels so good to use for a drum

Really good drum sticks but the only problem is that they have is that they chip from the tip and I’ve tried a lot of this sticks and it happens with all pairs.

I have been a drummer since early high school. I marched in marching band for 4 years. In my junior & senior years, I played the marching snare drum. I loved it!! I can still remember a particular cadence our high school band played during one of our very winning seasons. The drum sticks we used were very similar to the ones that I ordered here at amazon. I've been beating the perca pad I ordered from here daily as well. Great sticks!! Proud of my purchase choices.

Works well. Great gift and worth the money

Du lourd pour s'entraîner au pad. Je les ai revernies pour avoir un meilleur grippe. Je trouvais le vernis mat d'origine glissant.

Top! Hab lange nach dem passenden Sticks gesucht, hab lange nichts gefunden, bis ich auf die Promarks gestoßen bin. Kann ich nur empfehlen!

Ben fatte e con ottima presa, utilizzate per allenarmi sul pad

Veio tudo certinho e para mim o som das duas baquetas são iguais, mas variam dependendo do local de impacto na extensão da baqueta

I bought these sticks to do pad practise with and not to become a marching band drummer but was very impressed with easy they are to play with and how well balanced they are. Promark makes a quality product.
