Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (7150) or the full path ("Arts & Entertainment > Hobbies & Creative Arts > Musical Instrument & Orchestra Accessories > Percussion Accessories > Drum Stick & Brush Accessories"). 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. Before sending it, check whether the subcategory below fits — a narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things.
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.

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, 7150, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.

Questions about Drum Stick & Brush Accessories
What is the Google product category ID for Drum Stick & Brush Accessories?
7150. The full path, "Arts & Entertainment > Hobbies & Creative Arts > Musical Instrument & Orchestra Accessories > Percussion Accessories > Drum Stick & Brush Accessories", 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.
Should I use Drum Stick & Brush Accessories or one of its subcategories?
Prefer a subcategory when one fits: Drum Stick & Brush Accessories has 1 directly below it, starting with Drum Stick & Brush Bags & Holders (7151), and 1 in total further down. 7150 is itself a predefined value, so an interior category is not an error — it just groups the product more broadly than a subcategory would.
Where does Drum Stick & Brush Accessories sit in the taxonomy?
At level 5, under Percussion Accessories (3465). The chain from the top is Arts & Entertainment → Hobbies & Creative Arts → Musical Instrument & Orchestra Accessories → Percussion Accessories → Drum Stick & Brush Accessories. If your product does not belong under Percussion Accessories, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Drum Stick & Brush Accessories is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Percussion Accessories first — there are 10 other categories at this level: Cymbal & Drum Cases (7100), Cymbal & Drum Mutes (7231), Drum Heads (7153), Drum Keys (7152), Drum Kit Hardware (7099), Drum Sticks & Brushes (59), and 4 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Percussion Accessories (3465) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How much more specific can I get than Drum Stick & Brush Accessories?
1 level more. The longest route down from Drum Stick & Brush Accessories is Drum Stick & Brush Accessories > Drum Stick & Brush Bags & Holders, ending at Drum Stick & Brush Bags & Holders (7151) on level 6. Not every branch below Drum Stick & Brush Accessories runs that far, so the category that fits your product may stop earlier than this one does.
How big is Drum Stick & Brush Accessories compared with the categories next to it?
It is third largest of the 11 at its level, carrying 1 category below it. A bigger category is not a better one — it just means more of the taxonomy is still open below you after you pick it.
What is the difference between Drum Stick & Brush Accessories and Drum Heads?
They sit side by side under Percussion Accessories and start with the same word, which is why they get swapped. Drum Stick & Brush Accessories is 7150; Drum Heads is 7153. The paths are the reliable way to tell them apart — compare "Arts & Entertainment > Hobbies & Creative Arts > Musical Instrument & Orchestra Accessories > Percussion Accessories > Drum Stick & Brush Accessories" with "Arts & Entertainment > Hobbies & Creative Arts > Musical Instrument & Orchestra Accessories > Percussion Accessories > Drum Heads" before you submit.
