PromarkNatural Hickory Drum Sticks Wood 747
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Standard hickory drumsticks in the 747 model, natural finish. A general-purpose pair for practice, rehearsal and gigs at a low per-pair cost.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Drummers who go through sticks fast and buy in volume
- Practice pad and kit work where feel consistency matters
- Players wanting an untreated grip surface
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers wanting nylon tips for brighter cymbal articulation
- Players who prefer light maple for fast, low-volume work
- Anyone needing a specific pair-matched weight or pitch
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
Warmer, darker cymbal sound than nylon. Wears down over time and changes the sound as it does.
Detail 03
Natural, unfinished
No lacquer or paint. Grip is drier and less slippery when hands sweat, but soaks up moisture.
Detail 04
747 model
A specific shaft and taper profile. Sticks feel different between models, so the number matters for repeat buys.
Detail 05
Sold as one pair
One pair per purchase. Budget for replacements rather than treating these as a one-time buy.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Sticks only. No bag, sleeve or grip tape included

- 03Grain and weight vary slightly between pairs of natural wood
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Are these good for beginners?
Yes. Hickory is the standard learning material because it is durable and gives predictable rebound off a pad or head.
02Wood tip or nylon tip?
These are wood tip. That gives a warmer, less clicky cymbal sound. Nylon is brighter and keeps its shape longer.
03How long will a pair last?
Depends entirely on how hard you play and how often you hit rims. Heavy hitters can break a pair in a few sessions.
04Is the natural finish slippery?
Less so than a lacquered stick. Bare wood grips dry hands well but absorbs sweat, so it can feel tacky over a long set.
