ProMark Hickory 747 "The Natural" Wood Tip drumstick

The ProMark Hickory 747 “The Natural” Wood Tip Drumsticks are a proper classic — a stick that brings together power, reach, and natural feel in a way that just works across the kit.

Originally made famous through its association with Neil Peart, the 747 design takes the familiar feel of a 5A and stretches it slightly, giving you extra length and reach without feeling bulky or heavy. That added length makes a real difference, especially when you’re moving around the kit or digging into bigger grooves.

Crafted from hickory, these sticks offer that ideal balance of durability, responsiveness, and shock absorption, so they feel solid without being harsh on the hands. The standout here is the “The Natural” finish — a raw, uncoated surface that gives you a more tactile, grippy feel. No gloss, no slip — just pure wood in your hands, which many players find more comfortable, especially during longer sessions.

The wood tip delivers a warm, full tone on cymbals, slightly rounder and less bright than nylon, making it a great choice for players who prefer a more organic sound. These sticks sit in a really versatile space — ideal for rock, pop, indie, and general all-round playing, especially if you like a bit more reach and control without jumping up to heavier stick sizes.

This is one of those designs that’s stood the test of time for a reason — simple, reliable, and seriously playable.
