GOT QUESTIONS?
The 7A is thinner and lighter than the 5A ā 0.56" diameter vs 0.57". That slim profile makes them faster and more responsive, perfect for drummers who prioritize finesse and speed over power. If you play jazz, soft rock, or light genres, the 7A is your stick.
Jazz, brushwork, soft rock, R&B, gospel, and any style where touch, speed, and dynamics matter. The 7A excels wherever subtlety and control are more important than raw volume. Studio work and low-volume practice also feel incredible with a 7A.
For high-volume genres like metal or hard rock, yes ā the 7A isn't designed for that. But for most styles, the hickory's natural density at 0.9 g/cm³ gives you enough volume and projection. If you need more punch, the 5A or 5B are your next step up.
Yes! Free shipping on all orders over $70. The 6-pack gets you there easily. Or go for the Brick (12-pack) for the best per-pair price and free shipping included.
Maple is lighter and often used for jazz sticks, but it breaks more easily. Hickory gives you the best of both worlds ā nearly as light, but with better shock absorption and durability. For a 7A player who values feel and longevity, hickory wins every time.

Round Robin Saturday at a local studio, for a host of various musicians and parts of bands who were able to play. The Woodies 7As were so fantastic, another drummer used them for his four song set!
Iām a week in so far using these sticks and they hardly look used at all! Love the feel and definitely impressed by the durability, especially for 7Aās!
I love these sticks! Great balance, great feel and superior durability. Iāve played Vic Firth for the last 30 years and have now switched to the Woodies.
These sticks are flawlessly balanced. Gauge is perfect. It weighs as much as Vic Firth Ralph Hardiman. If you play hard, need a weighted stick while maintaining using a smaller stick, this is the joint! The even gauge keeps you from having to flip and play with the back end to get a hard hitting sound or a hearty cross stick.
Woodies 7A Long drumsticks feel a bit heavier than other 7As on the market. Yet their small round tips make for lower overall volume and great responsiveness, especially on ride cymbals. I'll be ordering more!
Playing for a breast cancer benefit concert. ā¦ā¦ Knowing that it was going to be a heavy evening of heavy hearts, but knowing that I was playing with my 7B long made my heart warm. Woodies drumsticks are the best.
I didn't think they were going to be as well weighted as they are when I first saw them. I can safely say I felt an improvement in my playing and speed when I switched to Woodies 7A Longs.
First time playing with these sticks was amazing! I got a pair of 7A long and I'm loving that extra reach. Having big hands, sometimes I feel like my sticks are to small but these fit perfectly.
Always played Zildjian Dennis Chambers signature 7-Aās, and the Wooodies 7-A is just as good, but at much better price point. Will be buying Woodies sticks for all future purchases. Great product!!!!
So far, so good! I ordered the 3 pack to test them out. I really like the feel. No warping. Great balance. Solid wood. I'll write another review after my gig this weekend.
Overall they weren't bad but the weight was not what I was expecting. I was led to believe by the advertising that these were the lightest sticks they have, which I've had my share of 7A's And these were not Lite in my opinion. Oh well. Listen learned I just gave them away so they didn't go to waste. For me, with all the years of playing that I have under my belt stick wait is more important especially matching as close as possible. It's very important. Not like some of the other manufacturers where they talk about the tonality of a stick which to me is a waste of time because by the time you get done playing that's going to go out the window once you start hitting the edge of the stick on the rim. To me that's just a marketing hype I guess somebody wanted to try that just to add a little bit more importance to their brand I guess. Anyway all this is just my opinion.
Nothing wrong with the sticks. I thought I would give the round tips a chance. I came to the conclusion that, I just don't like wood tips. They lack the definition that I get from nylon. To be honest, I'm not a fan of barrel-shaped tips either, but there are very few options for round nylon tips. (Hint, hint) lol
I purchased a 3 pack of 7A round tips a few weeks ago. Wrote a quick review but had not used them on a gig until this past weekend. Iām very impressed! They felt great and actually made it easier to perform. Great response and at the end of the night they still looked unharmed! The longer length was very helpful. I think that Iāve found my new āgo toā stick. Great product and company.
The stick is much more dense and heavy than any 7A Iāve ever used. The tip was also much bigger than it seemed in the pictures. Just not what I wanted.
Thank you for exchanging the barrel tip for the 7A round tip. They feel balanced and quick which is great for jazz. I use your 5A barrel tip for rock & country which also gets a great cymbal definition and cross stick tone because of the hickory wood's dense properties.
I've tried a lot of different brands and these sticks are the first to have a noticeable upgrade in quality. Love these and the round tips are my style. Wonāt ever go back to vic firth
