Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (7101) or the full path ("Arts & Entertainment > Hobbies & Creative Arts > Musical Instrument & Orchestra Accessories > Percussion Accessories > Drum Kit Hardware > Drum Pedals"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone.
Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.

| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Arts & Entertainment > Hobbies & Creative Arts > Musical Instrument & Orchestra Accessories > Percussion Accessories > Drum Kit Hardware > Drum Pedals |
This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 7101, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.

These sit under the same parent and start with the same word, which is exactly when the wrong one gets picked.
Questions about Drum Pedals
What is the Google product category ID for Drum Pedals?
7101. The full path, "Arts & Entertainment > Hobbies & Creative Arts > Musical Instrument & Orchestra Accessories > Percussion Accessories > Drum Kit Hardware > Drum Pedals", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.
Is anything more specific than Drum Pedals available?
No. Drum Pedals is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 6, so 7101 is the most precise value this branch offers. If it does not describe your product closely enough, the answer is a different branch, not a deeper one.
Where does Drum Pedals sit in the taxonomy?
At level 6, under Drum Kit Hardware (7099). The chain from the top is Arts & Entertainment → Hobbies & Creative Arts → Musical Instrument & Orchestra Accessories → Percussion Accessories → Drum Kit Hardware → Drum Pedals.

What should I use if Drum Pedals is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Drum Kit Hardware first — there are 2 other categories at this level: Bass Drum Beaters (7103), Drum Kit Mounting Hardware (7102). If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Drum Kit Hardware (7099) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How big is Drum Pedals compared with the categories next to it?
