Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Six pairs of hickory 747B sticks with nylon tips. For a drummer who goes through sticks and wants a longer, heavier stick than a 5A.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Rock and loud playing where a thicker stick survives rim work
  • Gigging drummers who need spares in the bag
  • Players wanting more reach across a large kit

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Light jazz or brush-territory playing needing a fast, thin stick
  • Drummers who prefer the warmer attack of a wood tip
  • Anyone wanting to try one pair before committing

Promark American Hickory Drum Sticks 6-Pair Nylon 747B construction detail

Detail 01

747B model

A rock-size stick: longer than a 5A with a beefier taper, so it hits harder and rebounds slower.

Detail 02

Nylon tip

Brighter, more cutting cymbal ping than wood, and the tip won't wear down or chip from ride work.

Detail 03

American hickory

Dense but flexible. Absorbs shock better than maple or oak, which is why it's the standard for hard hitters.

Detail 04

6-pair pack

Buying in bulk drops the per-pair cost versus singles. Sized for someone who breaks sticks regularly.

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01How is 747B different from 5A?

747B is longer and heavier with a different taper. It gives more reach and power; 5A is the lighter, faster all-around size.

02Do nylon tips sound different from wood?

Yes. Nylon gives a brighter, more defined ping on cymbals and hi-hats. Wood is warmer and darker.

03How many sticks come in this?

Six pairs, so twelve sticks total.

04Is hickory good for hard hitting?

Yes. Hickory is dense enough to take abuse but flexible enough to absorb shock, which is easier on your hands and wrists.
