PromarkAmerican Hickory Drum Sticks 6-Pair Nylon 747B
1/8
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
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 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.
