Signature Hickory Sticks with Barely There Wood Tips

YouTube and stage sensation Carter McLean has been a Promark player for years. "I use Promark drumsticks because they deliver the sound, feel, and consistency I always dream of," says Carter. So when Carter and Promark had the opportunity to team up for a signature stick, both parties were thrilled. Carter's signature Promark drumsticks arm today's drummers with the dynamic range and tonal versatility on display in his epic videos and electrifying performances. The signature RBCMWs are crafted from solid hickory to supply a substantial feel in the hands and a solid connection on snare and toms. Custom barely there wood tips maximize playing surface on cymbals, unleashing everything from soft, wooly washes to pinpoint articulation with a flick of a wrist. Slightly extended 16-1/8-inch lengths give these sticks a comfortable reach for fills. And Carter's custom .571-inch grip, sized between a standard 5A and 5B, gives these sticks a broadband appeal. Take a page straight from a rhythm master's book: expand your dynamic horizons with the Promark RBCMW Carter McLean signature drumsticks, available through Sweetwater.

"Play my signature stick parallel to the cymbal and get a big, open, bright sound. Play it at a steeper angle and get a darker, more articulate sound. It also feels and sounds incredible on a drum."Carter McLean

These are weird

They're different but I really like them. I don't know if I would just use these. But they're my favorite sticks to practice on the pad with. I could see the tip lasting a little longer than some other designs too.

Also I like the green print it looks good. They're handsome sticks.

One of the best sticks out there!

In my 11 years of playing drums this is one of the best sticks I've ever held!
Rated 5/5

Unique Stick Design - Excellent Sticks

Like the previous reviewer, I wasn't sure about these sticks. I am very glad I tried them. Unique design and they do sound good on the cymbals and drum heads. I have to say I was surprised by these sticks. I am still trying sticks and always looking for something new, but these were a good choice and I definitely will have a pair in my stick bag. Promark and Carter have a winner with this stick for sure and you can always count on Sweetwater for excellent service!
Music background: Playing drums for the fun of it.

Excellent wood tip

As great as Carter McLean sounds using these sticks, I was skeptical. I prefer the feel of Vic Firth sticks and wasn't sure if this tip design would work for me. Glad I tried them out. The tip sounds great on the ride cymbal and delivers a full hit on drum heads. Great design, Carter!
The feel and balance of the stick works for me. This is the first promark stick I love.
Music background: Drumming for over 50 years, still playing and gigging.

Super Good But Rough End Butts

These sticks have a super good balance and weight, but the butt ends have a pronounced roughness of the wood grain, it catches your hand, and feels like they need to sandEd to smooth out. Feels like a manufacturing flaw. I don't remember Carter wanting this in the design phase, and I bet he would be disappointed to know this is happening.
