Promark Drumsticks
Houston's stick maker since 1957 — home of the 747, Neil Peart's signature, and one of drumming's great artist rosters.
Promark has been turning hickory and shira kashi oak into drumsticks in Houston, Texas since 1957, and few stick brands carry as much history per pair. The TX747 "Rock" model became famous in Neil Peart's hands — his signature 747 remains one of the best-selling artist sticks ever made — and the FireGrain heat-tempered line brought genuine innovation to a product that had barely changed in a century.
Now part of the D'Addario family alongside Evans heads, Promark backs one of the deepest artist rosters in drumming. The Rig Vault entries below show which Promark models the documented drummers actually carry in their stick bags, with buy links for each.
