Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Mike Portnoy’s ActiveGrip 420X pairs 5A sizing with an extended 16.5-inch length for added power and projection. An oval wood tip brings warm tonality to cymbals and drums, while the heat-activated ActiveGrip surface becomes tackier as hands sweat and body temperature rises. It is a hickory stick for drummers who want a familiar 5A format with a longer reach and a grip response that changes during a performance.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Performances where hands sweat and a tackier grip response is useful.
- Drummers wanting 5A sizing with a longer 16.5-inch stick.
- Cymbal and drum playing that calls for an oval wood tip’s warm tonality.
