The Groove Pro DS‑5BH is a 5B‑sized drumstick made of hickory, designed to offer a solid balance of power and control. Its slightly larger diameter compared to 5A gives it more durability and projection, while the hickory material provides good shock absorption and a responsive feel. The stick is typically finished naturally (or with a light coating) for grip and protection, and it often ends in an oval or acorn tip to deliver a warm, articulate tone on drums and cymbals.
