Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Six pairs of hickory 747 sticks with wood tips. A long, medium-weight rock stick for players who want reach and a warmer cymbal sound.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rock drummers who want extra reach across a large kit
- Players who prefer a darker, woodier ride sound
- Stocking up when you already play 747s
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers who want the bright ping of a nylon tip
- Players who like short, fast sticks for tight kits
- Anyone unsure of their size — buy one 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
Wood tip
Warmer, less cutting attack on cymbals. Wears down with use, and the sound shifts as it does.
Detail 03
American hickory
Dense but with enough flex to absorb shock. Holds up better than maple under hard playing.
Detail 04
6-pair pack
Around $10 a pair, the cheapest of these three packs. Bulk pricing on a single model.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How do 747s compare to 5B?
The 747 is a longer stick with a similar rock-oriented weight. The added length gives more reach and leverage on cymbals.
02Why is this pack cheaper than the nylon packs?
Wood-tip sticks skip the molded nylon tip, so they cost less to make. Same hickory shaft.
03Do wood tips damage cymbals?
Wood is softer than nylon and gentler on cymbal surfaces. Most cymbal damage comes from bad technique, not tip material.
04Can I mix these with my current sticks?
You can, but the 747 length and taper feel different from shorter models. Expect a short adjustment period.
