Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
White oak 747 sticks with a nylon tip and a barrel-shaped tip profile. A rock-weight stick built for durability.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rock drummers who want a broad, full drum sound
- Players who break sticks fast and want denser wood
- Anyone chasing bright, cutting cymbal definition
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Light jazz playing where a thinner stick works better
- Drummers who prefer warm, blended wood-tip cymbal tone
- Players sensitive to hand shock over long sessions
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
Barrel tip (BN)
The flat-sided barrel shape puts more surface on the head and cymbal, giving a fatter, less focused note.
Detail 03
Japanese white oak
Denser than hickory, so it survives rim work longer but transmits more shock into your hands.
Detail 04
Nylon tip
Brighter ping on ride and hi-hat than wood, and it won't chip or flatten with use.
Detail 05
Oak stiffness
Very little flex compared to hickory. The stick feels rigid and rebounds fast off the head.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Sold as a single pair.
- 02Nylon tips can separate from the shaft after heavy use.
- 03Oak's density makes it harder on heads and hoops than hickory.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What does BN mean?
B is the barrel tip shape — flat-sided rather than round or oval. N means nylon tip instead of wood.
02How does a barrel tip sound different?
More contact area with the cymbal and head, so you get a broader, fuller note with less pinpoint definition than a round or acorn tip.
03Is a 747 bigger than a 5B?
They're in similar weight territory. The 747 is a rock-oriented size — check the dimensions against your current pair before switching.
04Does oak last longer than hickory?
Generally yes. Oak is denser and more resistant to denting and chipping, especially on rim work. The trade-off is more shock in your hands.
