❓ Drum Stick FAQs

What’s the difference between 5A and 7A drum sticks?

5A sticks are thicker and more versatile for most genres. 7A sticks are thinner, lighter, and better suited for lighter playing or younger hands.

Are wood tips or nylon tips better?

Wood tips provide a warm, traditional feel. Nylon tips offer durability and brighter cymbal sounds — especially good for electronic kits or rock drumming.

Can I use regular sticks on electronic drum kits?

Yes, but softer wood (like hickory) or nylon tips are best to avoid pad wear. Avoid heavy-duty marching sticks on mesh heads.
