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
Nylon tip
Brighter, more defined ping on ride and hats. Doesn't wear down like wood, so your cymbal sound stays consistent.
Detail 03
Hickory
Dense and shock-absorbing. The default stick wood because it survives rimshots without transmitting all the sting to your hands.
Detail 04
12-pack
Roughly $6.67 per pair. Cheaper per pair than buying singles, but you're locked into one size.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01All twelve pairs are the same size — no variety in the pack
- 02Pairs are not weight or pitch matched to each other
- 03Nylon tips can pop off after heavy use; that pair is done
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 24 sticks total. Every pair is 5B hickory with a nylon tip.
02Is 5B too heavy for a beginner?
No. 5B is a common starting size and the extra weight helps you feel the rebound. It's slower than a 5A for fast hand work.
03Will nylon tips damage my cymbals?
No more than wood. Nylon sounds brighter on the ride and keeps that sound longer since the tip doesn't wear round.
04Are the sticks pitch matched?
This is a bulk economy pack, so expect normal variation between pairs. Match them yourself by rolling and tapping if it matters to you.
