ProMark Hickory 420 Mike Portnoy Nylon Tip Drumsticks
ProMark Hickory 420 Mike Portnoy Nylon Tip Drumsticks
The 420 stick was designed by Mike Portnoy, progressive drummer extraordinaire. It features a long, narrow taper which provides a fast and responsive feel. The nylon tip provides a brighter, more articulate sound. Because of its resilience, responsiveness and durability, hickory is the most commonly used wood for drum sticks. Hickory is the classic drum stick feel.
As one of the worlds leading clinicians, Mike continues to push the boundaries of progressive rock music with his group Dream Theatre.

The nylon tips had some burring around the edges that I needed to trim off and sand down before using (I use a Roland edrum set and dont' want to damage my heads or rims). For balance and finesse I love them, they're more suited to me than the 5A sets I was previously using. If ProMark could ship their nylon tip sticks without the burring, these would be a 5* set.
