- Rehearsal and gig bags that need a backup pair
- Anyone already settled on 5A as their size
Consider the trade-offs

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
Four pairs in one purchase
You are buying a supply, not one pair. Cost per pair drops well under buying singly.
Detail 03
Black finish
Cosmetic only. Same wood and dimensions underneath, so grip and rebound match the natural version.
Detail 04
Sold in matched pairs
Each pair is boxed together, so weight and pitch are consistent stick to stick within a pair.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Sticks are consumable. Four pairs is weeks, not years, of heavy playing.
- 02Nothing else is included: no bag, no stick holder.
- 03Dark coatings can leave marks on white or coated drum heads.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How many sticks do I actually get?
Four pairs, eight sticks. Three pairs are purchased and the fourth comes free as part of the bundle.
02Is 5A the right size for me?
It is the most common size and the usual starting point. Go heavier for loud rock, lighter for jazz and fast ghost notes.
03Does the black finish change how they play?
No. Dimensions and wood are the same as the standard 5A, so weight and rebound feel identical.
04Are the tips wood or nylon?
These are the standard 5A shape. If you specifically want the sharper, brighter cymbal sound of a nylon tip, check the tip type before ordering.
