Detail 01
Hickory
Middle-weight and dense with natural give, so it soaks up shock instead of transmitting it into your wrists.

PromarkHickory 808L Ian Paice Signature Wood Tip Drum Sticks
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Hickory signature sticks with a wood tip, sold as a matched pair. For drummers who want a darker cymbal sound and a stick that absorbs shock.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rock and classic hard rock playing on a full kit
- Drummers who want warmer, less clicky cymbal attack
- Long rehearsals where hand fatigue matters
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players needing bright, cutting ride definition — nylon tips do that better
- Anyone wanting a light, fast stick for jazz brushed dynamics
- Drummers already committed to a different diameter and taper
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
Rounder, softer contact with cymbals. Darker and warmer than nylon, with less high-end ping on the ride.
Detail 03
Signature model
Dimensions were chosen for one player's feel, not a generic size chart. Try before you commit a bulk order.
Detail 04
Under twenty dollars a pair
Standard consumable pricing. Sticks are a wear item, so cost per pair matters more than any single feature.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Sticks are consumable — buy several pairs if you gig or practice hard
- 02Wood tips chip and flatten over time, which changes cymbal tone gradually
- 03No bag, no grip tape, no drums included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this one stick or a pair?
A pair. Drumsticks are sold and priced two to a package.
02What's the difference between wood tip and nylon tip?
Wood gives a warmer, darker cymbal sound with a softer attack. Nylon is brighter and more cutting, and it lasts longer before wearing down.
03Will these work on an electronic kit?
Yes. Wood tips are fine on mesh and rubber pads. On older rubber pads a wood tip will wear slightly faster than nylon.
04Is hickory better than maple or oak?
Hickory sits in the middle — denser than maple, softer than oak. It absorbs shock well and is the most common choice for general kit playing.
