Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Twelve pairs of 5A hickory sticks with wood tips for $78.99. A bulk buy for drummers who go through sticks steadily.
Strong match

- Gigging drummers who break or lose sticks monthly
- School band rooms and rehearsal spaces stocking spares
- Anyone already settled on 5A who wants to stop reordering
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers still testing sizes to find their fit
- Players who prefer nylon tips for cymbal brightness
- Occasional hobbyists — a dozen pairs will outlast your need
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 good shock absorption. Harder-wearing than maple, less brittle in feel than oak.
Detail 03
Wood tip
Warmer, darker cymbal tone than nylon, with a broader attack. The tip wears and dulls slightly as it goes.
Detail 04
12-pack
Twelve at $78.99 is about $6.58 each, well under typical single-pair pricing.
Detail 05
Goodwood
A value-focused hickory line. Consistency pair to pair is decent, not boutique-matched.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Only worth it if 5A is already your size — you're committing to twelve.
- 02No case or bag; store them dry, since humidity swings warp wood.
- 03Wood tips chip on rims and cymbal edges. Rotate pairs as they wear.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How many sticks come in the 12-pack?
Twelve pairs, so 24 sticks. At $78.99 that lands around $6.58 per pair, cheaper than buying them one pair at a time.
02Wood tip or nylon tip — which should I get?
These are wood. Wood gives a warmer, rounder cymbal sound. Nylon is brighter and more cutting, and the tip doesn't chip as fast.
03Is hickory better than maple or oak?
Hickory is the standard middle ground: heavier and more durable than maple, with more give than oak, which is harder but transmits more shock.
04Are the pairs weight matched?
Expect reasonable consistency at this price, not exact matching. Roll each stick on a flat surface and pair up the straightest ones yourself.
