The Tim Fairbanks signature stick combines a thoughtful marching snare design with ProMark's FireGrain heat-tempering technology for exceptional durability. The long 4.25-inch taper and rear taper at the butt end produce outstanding balance and a natural feel in the hands. The handle diameter sits at .708 inches for a comfortable grip before gradually widening through the shoulder, creating a stick that feels nimble but delivers serious sound.

FireGrain is a patented process that strengthens the hickory at the molecular level without changing the stick's weight or balance. You get the same playing characteristics with measurably longer stick life -- a real advantage during demanding marching rehearsals where broken sticks mean lost time. A purpose-built marching implement designed by a player who understands what the activity demands.
