ProMark LA Special 5B Hickory Drumstick, Nylon Tip

The LA Special 5B Nylon gives you a step up in power from the 5A with the added brightness of a nylon tip, all at a price that makes sense for everyday playing. The 5B diameter offers more mass and reach, which translates to fuller drum tone and better projection in louder settings. The nylon tip holds up longer than wood and produces that distinct, cutting ping on rides and hi-hats.

These hickory sticks are a solid choice for rock, pop, worship, and school band situations where you need durability and volume without spending a lot. LA Specials are paired by size but skip the premium weight matching, which is a tradeoff most players are happy to make at this price point. Stock up and play hard.
