When to choose it

Pick the TX7AN when you like the short, narrow ProMark 7A and want a nylon contact on the cymbal. The published grip is 0.512 inches and the length is 15⅜ inches, the same as the matching wood-tip TX7AW. Compare the same ride pattern to judge the difference in the start of the note.

If you are switching from the Vic Firth 7AN, compare reach and grip before treating the two 7A nylon labels as interchangeable. The Vic Firth is 15½ inches long with a 0.540-inch grip. The TX7AN also has ProMark’s short taper and oval nylon tip.
