The Promark Steve Ferrone Signature Sticks TX735W were manufactured exactly according to the specifications of the drummer legend. Ferrone, who has names like Eric Clapton, Duran Duran and Chaka Khan on his résumé and has been swinging sticks for Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers since 1994, prefers extra long sticks for more reach. The oval wooden tip creates dark and warm sounds, suitable for a variety of musical styles. The taper is neither particularly short nor long, giving the TX735W a well-balanced combination of response and rebound.
