ProMark Scott Johnson FireGrain Hickory Marching Drumstick (TXDC17W-FG)
Deliver maximum projection, absolute velocity, and unmatched durability across the grid with a stick engineered to outlast the competition. The ProMark TXDC17W-FG combines the elite design parameters of legendary DCI percussion instructor Scott Johnson (Blue Devils) with ProMark's revolutionary heat-tempering process. Featuring a robust diameter and a flame-hardened finish, this stick provides a hefty, balanced feel in the hands that yields a massive rimshot crack while offering an incredibly long structural lifespan under the heavy stress of high-tension marching snare drums.
Key Features
- Patented FireGrain Durability: Features ProMark's innovative heat-tempering process that uses an open flame to crystallize and harden the outer wood fibers. This vastly extends the lifespan of your sticks against aggressive rimshots and rim-clicks without adding weight, altering balance, or dulling natural vibrations.
- Designed with a DCI Legend: Custom engineered alongside Scott Johnson, Percussion Arranger and Caption Head for the world-champion Blue Devils Drum and Bugle Corps, to satisfy elite marching requirements.
- Premium American Hickory: Crafted from select, dense American Hickory, then flame-treated to maximize shock-absorption capabilities and resist splitting under intense playing conditions.
- Large Round Wood Tip: Outfitted with a substantial round wood bead that delivers a highly articulate, robust, and full-bodied tone from high-tension Kevlar and Mylar marching heads.
- Medium Taper for Maximum Control: Built with a standard medium taper that perfectly balances a front-heavy, high-velocity throw with an agile, responsive bounce back from the head.
- ProMatch Precision Sorting: Every pair is weight- and pitch-matched to within a fraction of an ounce and Hz using ProMark’s advanced manufacturing sorting process, guaranteeing absolute consistency between your left and right hand.
