1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Bulk 12-pair box of Japanese white oak 747 sticks with nylon tips. For a gigging or teaching drummer who breaks sticks often.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who snap sticks monthly and want a season's supply
- Drummers wanting bright, cutting cymbal articulation from a nylon tip
- Rock and loud live playing where a dense stick holds up
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone unsure of their size — twelve pairs is a big commitment
- Players who want the warmer, darker attack of a wood tip
- Light jazz and brush work where a heavy oak stick overplays
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 defined ping off ride and hi-hat. Survives rim contact better than wood, which chips.
Detail 03
747 model
Promark's rock-size shaft — thicker and longer-feeling than a 5A. More mass behind each hit.
Detail 04
12 pairs
About $20 a pair. Same as buying singles here, so the value is convenience, not discount.
Detail 05
Pairs, not matched sets
Sticks are sold paired by weight within a pair, so each pair feels consistent to itself.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No stick bag or case included — these come as loose pairs
- 02Try a single pair of 747 first if you are new to oak
- 03Oak transmits more shock than hickory; grip and technique matter more
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How is oak different from hickory?
Oak is denser and stiffer. A 747 in oak weighs more than the same size in hickory, hits harder, and flexes less, so more vibration reaches your hands.
02Does the nylon tip come off?
Nylon tips can loosen or fly off after heavy rim and cymbal contact. It is the normal failure point on any nylon-tip stick, oak or hickory.
03Is 747 bigger than 5A?
Yes. 747 is Promark's rock size, thicker in the shaft than a 5A, so it feels heavier and slower but moves more air.
04Will these work on an electronic kit?
Yes, though a heavy oak stick with a hard nylon tip is rough on mesh heads and rubber pads. Lighter sticks last longer on e-kits.
