Promark SR3BLA Stick Rapp Drumstick Wrap, Black Splatter

I've been using the Vater brand stick wrap for years. Not sure what's going on with this product but I can't find them anywhere. Tried MusiciansFriend, Guitar Center (local and online) Amazon, Sweetwater, etc. I even emailed Vater sales support to ask and it's been crickets!!So, I decided to give this Promark brand a try and to my surprise, not only do they have more tacky grip they are 1/3 less the price than Vater. Each pack does four sticks and easy to wrap and installed. I'm done with Vater!

The same grip tape until sticks broke.I don’t know why but the blue is the only color that works, I’ve tried the red and multicolored but the blue is by far the best stick wrap I’ve used.I actually unwrapped my other colored sticks andre-wrapped mine again in blue.

I'm a semi-pro drummer with more than thirty years of experience, and I can tell you that Pro-Mark Stick Rapp is the only wrap I have found that I can count on for durability and performance.Other wraps just don't last very long -- a few gigs, and they get lumpy, patchy -- the grip loses its proper spiral layering and needs to be replaced. Some wraps -- typically the stuff on long rolls -- also leave a nasty black residue on the stick after you remove them. Yuck.Pro-Mark Rapps last for months and months, they don't leave residue when you do have to change them, and they even come in a nice variety of colors and patterns. The black, white, and red speckle design is very nice, I can tell you, and I like the black and white checkerboard pattern too.And yes, these stick wraps really help to prevent flyaway sticks -- a nightmare for most drummers, especially during a solo! (And no, I don't work for Pro-Mark...)

Some reviewers found the tape sticky and some residue came off on their hands.I got the plain black.Happily, to me the feel is great, kind of rubbery, not sticky, adding just the right amount of grip.I'll probably never have a stick go flying again!

It does exactly what it’s supposed to do. The tape strip at the top sometimes does not stick very well, but overall, it helps me hold on to my sticks.

Love them ! I used drum gloves before, I have these no more gloves! I have the red ones and not a problem. Broke a stick and changed it to the new one! P.S And I don't get blister's.

I am a 55+ yr Old drummer, and start having camping issues, and pain in my thumbs, also to compensate it would hold the slicks very loosely which lend to dropping sticks. I tried Dips sticks. actually loved them at 1st but found the rubber coating would wear through. traditional stick tape left me with a lot of Blisters. I decided to give these a shot. I am more than very pleased. I now get enough grip on my sitcks without having to hold on to tight. Tese wraps are much easier on my hands, and were easy to put on. been playing with them now for about 6 mos, and no sign of them wearing out. I highly recommend these

This product works as intended. However, it doesn’t last more than a few hours before ripping. Additionally, the rubbing of my skin gave me blisters so I have to wrap tape on several fingers.
