The ProMark company was founded in 1957 by Herb Brochstein, a professional drummer and drum shop owner. ProMark has always been a family business and so continues with the 2011 purchase by D’Addario & Company from Herb’s son Maury. The offices and factory remain in Houston, Texas; manufacturing hickory, maple and Japanese Shira Kashi™ Oak (ProMark was the first American drumstick company to successfully market sustainable Japanese Oak) drumsticks in its modern 90,000 square foot facility.
One of the things I've come to really enjoy about the drumming community (I guess it's the same with other instruments, too) is seeing how people can trace techniques back to people who taught to them. Like drumming genealogy. I learned this in the 90s from Johnny Rabb. I'm sure lots of people learned it from Jojo Mayer. And now lots will learn it from Larnell! Very cool. :-)
Mine just came in from amazon today, Really nice sticks . Might switch Over to using these mine are 50 grams Thinking that I wish they were a little bit heavier 54 grams would be nice , Or maybe not.... Been using the Zildjian green 5A Exclusively for Quite a while.... Think I might switch over..... Definitely nice sounding sticks.🥁👍
