PromarkAmerican Hickory Drum Sticks 6-Pair Nylon 747N
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Six pairs of 747N hickory sticks with nylon tips. A longer, fuller stick for drummers who want reach, volume and bright cymbal attack.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rock and pop drummers wanting cutting cymbal definition
- Players on larger kits who need extra reach across the setup
- Regular gigging drummers who go through sticks steadily
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Quiet jazz and brush-adjacent playing where a light stick fits better
- Drummers who prefer the warmer, darker sound of a wood tip
- Anyone unsure of the 747 size — six pairs is a big commitment
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 the tip holds its shape far longer before wearing down.
Detail 03
American hickory
Stiff enough for clean rebound and good at absorbing shock, so it stays comfortable through long sets.
Detail 04
6-pair pack
Around $16 a pair. Costs more than the wood-tip equivalent because nylon tips add manufacturing steps.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What does the N in 747N mean?
Nylon tip. The 747 is the stick model and size; the N marks the tip material versus the wood-tip version.
02Why are these more expensive than the 7A wood pack?
Nylon tips are a separate molded part fitted to the shaft, which adds cost. The 747 is also a larger stick than a 7A.
03Are nylon tips louder on cymbals?
Brighter and more cutting rather than louder. You get more stick definition and ping; wood tips sound warmer and darker.
04How does 747 compare to 5A?
The 747 is longer with a fuller taper, giving more reach and leverage on a large kit. A 5A feels shorter and quicker.
