PromarkJapanese White Oak Drum Sticks 6-Pair Wood 747B
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Six pairs of 747B oak sticks with wood tips. A rock-size stick for players who want more reach and weight than a 5A.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Loud kit playing where volume and reach matter
- Drummers who already know they want a rock-size stick
- Restocking a half-dozen pairs instead of a full case
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who have only used 5A and want a small step up
- Light jazz, brush and low-volume gig work
- Anyone wanting a single pair to test the size 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
747B model
A rock-oriented size, heavier and longer-feeling than a 5A. More leverage on the stroke, less nimble in the fingers.
Detail 03
Wood tip
Warmer ride and cymbal tone than nylon, and it changes gradually as the tip wears flat.
Detail 04
6 pairs in the box
Roughly nineteen dollars a pair, the same unit price as the twelve-pair boxes. Half the commitment, no bulk penalty.
Detail 05
Oak in a rock size
Dense wood plus a bigger stick means real weight. Expect more fatigue than a hickory stick of the same size.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Try the 747 size before buying six pairs if you normally play 5A
- 02Sticks only. No bag or case included
- 03Heavier sticks wear drum heads and cymbal edges faster
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is a 747B?
A rock-size stick, heavier and with more reach than a 5A. The B refers to the model line, not a step up from 5B.
02How does it compare to a 5B?
Both are rock-oriented and heavier than a 5A. The 747 has its own balance and feel, so try one pair before stocking up.
03Why oak instead of hickory?
Oak is denser, so the sticks last longer and sound brighter. The trade is more shock through the hands and less flex.
04Is six pairs enough?
For a weekend player, easily a year. For a heavy hitter gigging weekly, closer to a few months.
