The Promark company was founded in 1957 by Herb Brochstein, a professional drummer and drum shop owner. Promark has always been a family business and is now headed by Herb’s son Maury. Since 2011 Promark has been a member of the renowned family which includes such respected brands as D'Addario, D'Addario Accessories, Evans Drumheads and PureSound snare wire. Promark drumsticks and brushes are still designed, engineered, and manufactured in Texas to the most stringent quality controls in the industry. Promark Nylon Bristle Brushes feature thicker-gauge clear nylon bristles providing a more pronounced response. The bristles conveniently retract into the impact resistant plastic handles for easy storage and protection when not in use.
