Product Overview
Product Description
Designed with progressive metal pioneer Mike Portnoy, the ProMark 420 drumsticks fuse his signature power profile with a durable nylon tip for unmatched clarity on cymbals. Crafted from select hickory, these 16″ sticks feature a .620″ diameter and an oval nylon tip that delivers bright, articulate cymbal articulation and extended tip life. The forward-balanced design shifts weight toward the tip for enhanced projection on rims and toms, while the medium taper provides balanced rebound and feel. A smooth lacquer finish ensures a secure, comfortable grip—ideal for high-energy metal, rock, and fusion playing.
