1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A six-pair box of American hickory 747 sticks with wood tips, sized for rock playing. Buy it if you already know 747 is your stick and you go through them.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Drummers who break sticks and want a stocked stick bag
- Rock and loud playing where a heavier stick holds up
- Anyone already settled on the 747 shape
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers who haven't found their stick size yet
- Players who want the brighter attack of a nylon tip
- Light jazz or brush work where a thinner stick suits better
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
Wood tip
Warmer, darker cymbal sound than nylon. Wears down over time and changes the cymbal attack as it does.
Detail 03
747 size
A rock stick — thicker and heavier than a 5A. More volume and durability, less finesse on quiet passages.
Detail 04
6-pair pack
Works out cheaper per pair than singles. Sticks in one box are not weight-matched to each other.
Detail 05
Barrel-style tip (BW)
Broader contact patch on cymbals and drumheads than a teardrop tip, giving a fuller, less focused sound.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Sticks are consumable — hard hitters may go through this box in months
- 02Pairs are matched within a pair, not across the whole box
- 03No stick bag or case included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How does a 747 compare to a 5B?
The 747 is in similar territory — a rock stick, heavier and thicker than a 5A. Expect more volume and durability with less speed than a lighter stick.
02Wood tip or nylon tip?
This is wood. Wood gives a warmer, darker cymbal tone. Nylon is brighter and more cutting, and the tip lasts longer. Pick by the cymbal sound you want.
03Are the sticks weight-matched?
Each pair is matched to itself. Sticks are not matched across all six pairs, so feel can vary slightly from pair to pair.
04Is hickory better than maple or oak?
Hickory is the middle ground. Maple is lighter and faster but wears quicker; oak is denser and lasts longer but sends more shock into your hands.
