I play the oak 5A's from pro mark. It seems they changed them-tried to buy some today and the tip is larger and the taper is shorter. More like a 5B than a 5A.
Anyway, do any of you have access to the older 5AN before d'addario took over? Or at least before they put their name on the sticks and changed the logo? The little sumo dude is key it seems.
I'd consider buying a gross if I had to but maybe 10 pair will do it for me since they wear like iron...
Thanks! (Off to search eBay...)
