PromarkJapanese White Oak Drum Sticks 3-Pair Nylon 747BN
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Three pairs of 747BN white oak sticks with nylon tips. A rock stick with a long taper for players who want reach and rebound.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rock and pop drummers who want length without extra thickness
- Players who like a longer stick for reach around a big kit
- Drummers moving up from 5A who want a bit more stick
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who prefer a short, compact stick
- Jazz and light-touch drummers — this is a heavier feel
- Anyone who breaks sticks fast and needs bulk quantity
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
Japanese white oak
Denser than hickory. More attack, more durability, less shock absorption through the wrist on hard hits.
Detail 03
Nylon tip (the BN)
The N in 747BN. Bright, cutting cymbal definition that stays consistent as the stick wears.
Detail 04
Extra length
More reach across a large setup and more leverage per stroke, at the cost of some close-in control.
Detail 05
3 pairs
About $20 a pair — the same per-pair pricing as the 12-pack, in a smaller commitment.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Sticks only — no bag, no holder.
- 02Longer sticks change your grip balance; expect a short adjustment period
- 03Nylon tips can pop off before the shaft breaks on hard cymbal work
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What does 747 mean?
It's Promark's model designation for this shape — a rock stick, longer than a standard 5A. The B and N indicate the tip and nylon material.
02How does this compare to a 5B?
The 747 leans on length rather than raw thickness. You get reach and leverage; the 5B gets you more mass in the hand for straight power.
03Is oak harder on my cymbals?
Oak's density means a harder attack, but the nylon tip is what contacts the cymbal. Technique and edge-hitting matter far more than stick wood for cymbal wear.
04Should I buy the 3-pair or the 12-pair?
Per-pair cost is similar. Buy three if you're trying the model or play occasionally; the 12-pack is a different size (5B) anyway, so it's not a direct swap.
