Gearank Recommendation
The Promark TX420N appeared on our recommended list for Drum Sticks from May 2021 until August 2022 when they had been out-ranked by other sticks.
Overview
Mike Portnoy is the co-founding drummer of the American progressive metal band, Dream Theater.
His signature sticks are slightly smaller than 5A's in diameter with a 747 style taper providing a fast and responsive feel.
These have a nylon tip for a brighter, more-articulate cymbal sound compared to wood tipped sticks.
These sticks are great for versatile and technical metal players who prioritize speed and articulation above all else.
