GoodwoodHickory Drum Sticks 12-Pack Fusion Nylon
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A dozen pairs of hickory fusion sticks with nylon tips, at $7.50 a pair. For gigging or teaching drummers who go through sticks steadily.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Working drummers who break a pair every few gigs
- Teachers and schools stocking a consistent stick for students
- Players who want cymbal definition in a loud band mix
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone still deciding what stick size they like
- Light jazz or brush-heavy players wanting a thinner stick
- One-pair buyers — cheaper to test a single pair first
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 cutting cymbal attack than wood and it does not wear round. Tips can pop off eventually.
Detail 03
Fusion size
Sits between 5A and 5B in weight and runs a bit longer, so you get reach without a heavy club.
Detail 04
12-pack
About $7.50 a pair, well under single-pair pricing. You are buying a stock of one model, not variety.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Fusion is a size, not a standard — check length and diameter against your current sticks
- 02Wood grain and weight vary pair to pair; pair them off by feel yourself
- 03Nylon tips brighten your ride and hats noticeably versus wood tips
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this 12 sticks or 12 pairs?
Twelve pairs, twenty-four sticks. That works out to about $7.50 per pair, which is the reason to buy a pack this size instead of ordering singles.
02How does fusion compare to 5A?
Fusion is close to a 5A in diameter but generally longer and slightly heavier in the balance. If a 5A feels short, fusion is the natural step.
03Nylon or wood tip?
Nylon gives a brighter, clearer cymbal ping and holds its shape as it wears. Wood is warmer and darker. For loud rock and pop, nylon cuts better.
04Do the nylon tips come off?
It happens with heavy rim and cymbal edge work over time. It is the main failure mode for nylon-tipped sticks, and part of why buying by the dozen makes sense.
