They sound fine and are very sleek, but the brushes don't like to stay out. After a minute of play they start slipping noticeably. I would recommend regular wire brushes instead. Read more

These work great for me Read more

When I first saw these I immediately thought they were cheap, beginner type brushes. Then when I saw they were promark, it peaked my interest. I've become kind of a brush collector as I try to find the perfect pair. I never considered nylon as it just didn't seem to me to be as good as wire. (note only in my mind I had never played nylon before) I have to say, I'm glad I tried them. I recently also got the Light weight 5b brushes and some of the characteristics are the same. Here's my take. -They aren't retractable they are a throw type, though I just pull them out most of the time -Their balance is very good, Promark claim they weight them like a 2b which I don't play, however, I find the handle which is larger than the 5b lights to be a bit large for my tastes. -The brush does not have a loop at the end. This is a pro and a con, where I like the feel in my hand without the loop and you get more brush length, I do miss the ability to run the loop against the cymbals on the bell. -NYLON "wires" don't get caught in the rim and bend (and later need to be straightened or cut) and don't get bent in my stick bag (vs. the wire if I don't store in the plastic container that it came in) Where I found the sound on the 5b light version to be fuller than that of a light weight wire brush, on these they are lacking the fullness and the volume of a wire heavy weight brush (I used a Jeff Hamilton brush to compare) and do well comparing to a medium wire brush instead. Note, if you do rim rolls, I wouldn't recommend either promark the material on the shaft doesn't stick the same way. However, if you are willing to make an accommodation and have a 14 inch head, you can lay it on the head and roll it well. Overall I absolutely believe these need to be considered and taken seriously. Though I was hoping this would be a nylon alternative to the heavy wire brush, it does good as a medium weight. The feel of the 2b shaft on this one is too much for me, I would prefer that 5b with these nylon wires. Read more

I bought these brushes for my grandson who is learning to play the drums. His instructor tried them and thought that they were first class ! Read more

I wanted to like these, but they just didn’t work. Retracting the brush will eventually break it, the only thing keeping the bristles in place is plastic. Read more

it is a good product and fast delivery Read more

I've used Pro-mark sticks for over 30 years so it's only natural I would give their brushes a try. Thicker, sturdier, and inspiring to lay down a firm country snare rhythm. Read more
