Detail 01
2B size
One of the thickest common sizes. More mass and volume, slower to move — built for power, not finesse.

GoodwoodHickory Drum Sticks 12-Pack 2B Nylon
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Twelve pairs of 2B hickory sticks with nylon tips. For heavy hitters who break sticks and want to stop reordering.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rock and metal drummers who go through sticks fast
- Marching and rudimental practice needing a heavy stick
- School and rehearsal-room kits that need spare pairs on hand
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Jazz or light-touch players — 2B is too heavy
- Drummers who prefer the darker cymbal sound of wood tips
- Anyone wanting to try a size before committing to twelve pairs
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Hickory
Dense and stiff with little vibration absorption. Durable under hard playing, but you feel more shock in the hands.
Detail 03
Nylon tip
Brighter, more defined cymbal ping than wood, and the tip will not chip or wear round.
Detail 04
12-pack
Works out to roughly $7.50 a pair, well under single-pair pricing.
Detail 05
Goodwood
Vater's value line — same hickory stock, simpler finish and less strict weight matching than premium pairs.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Pairs are not weight or pitch matched as tightly as premium lines
- 022B is heavy — if you have not played it, try a single pair first
- 03Nylon tips can fly off on hard rim shots over time
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How many sticks are in the pack?
Twelve pairs, so twenty-four sticks.
02Is 2B too big for a beginner?
It is heavy, but many teachers start students on 2B to build hand strength. It slows fast playing down.
03What is the difference between nylon and wood tip?
Nylon gives a brighter, sharper cymbal attack and resists wear. Wood sounds warmer and darker.
04Are these the same as Vater sticks?
Goodwood is Vater's budget line. Same hickory, less refined finish and looser weight matching.
