Zildjian 5A Nylon Black Dip Drumsticks

I have just begun to practice the drums and even though I have a set of drum sticks I heard it is a good idea to have more than one set of drum sticks. I decided to purchase this model (Zildjian 5 A, Nylon Black Dip drum sticks) which I bought for a bargain price on Amazon. I like the black grip portion when practicing drumming. This model also has a nylon tip. I am just a beginner learning how to play the drums but I really like the way these drum sticks feel in my hand when I practice. If you are into drums you may want to check out this type of drum stick. Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Use of the cane, walking stick and Hanbo for self-defense).

Well, they are wooden drum sticks with nylon tips and black grip areas that are coated with some kind of tacky material that keeps the sticks from sliding out of your hands. They look sweet with the Black and Maple contrast, along with the gold Zildjian imprint. The weight and thickness is perfect in my hands. They seem to be very well made, as I would expect from anything bearing the Zildjian name. I don't hit super hard and the lightweight of the 5A's allow me to play a little faster than the next size up, so I'll be sticking with this particular model for the foreseeable future. If you're already already using 5A's and you haven't tried these, it's worth giving them a shot.

These sticks are PERFECT and a pair will last you many years. Don't waste you money on the cheap sticks. It is false economy as they break, chip and the plastic tips fall off. For my money, these are the absolute best sticks on the market. I'm an old, wise drummer of several decades. I appear on over 50 albums and have toured the world performing. Needless to say I have tried many, many types of drum sticks from cheap to expensive and NONE are as good as these Zildjian 5A Nylon Black Dip Drumsticks. Use these and you will never ever go back to another stick!

I was hesitant about buying these sticks at first, but they have been great! I play heavily every other day, and they sound just as good as when I first ordered them. The grip is also a plus, as I was unsure if they were worth the price. The only thing that bothers me is that the grip starts peeling much sooner than I expected. But that is only at the edge, so overall I am very pleased. The shippings people were also very cooperative, as they never got to my house the first time I ordered them.

These sticks provided extra grip, especially if your hands sweat very much. They are a little heavier than non-dipped sticks, but that's actually good for practicing rudiments. It strengthens your hands as you play. It is good to go back and forth between non-dipped sticks and these as you will have trouble holding non-dipped wood sticks if you only practice with these dipped sticks. The sticks are well balanced. Nylon tips are good for electronic drums, as they do not mark the cymbals.

Zildjan Sticks with the rubber dip definately keep you from accidental throws and they give you more control on your rolls, escpecially on the snare drum.. However, if your fingers are not very calus the rubber will rip open your skin after a bit.. I suggest finding on Amazon a bottle of Tincture of Benzoin, they have it in many different forms and brands, and putting it on your fingers where the wear is and this will calus up the skin so that its hard and strong. its an old musicians trick for many different types of playing escpecially drummers and guitarists who fingerpick.. These Zildjan Sticks are the best on the market by far.

Awesome drum sticks for the price. I tend to be a bit heavy handed when I play, and I've broken a lot of sticks in my day, but these hold up well when I'm smashing a floor tom. The grips are also extremely comfortable and I think they look awesome. I would definitely recommend these to any other drummers that like to play pretty hard.

I bet you did not know that the Zildjian company was founded in 1623. I have only used these drum sticks for about 2 months but I really REALLY like them a lot. I gave them 5 stars for durability because I like them. I am a hard hitter but I play an electronic kit so all rubber/plastic. I really like the rubber coating. I like the look, you can hardly feel it if you close your eyes but the sticks do not slip out of your hands. Two thumbs way up.

Perfect!

The rubber at the holding end of the stick is welcome for me because I don't drop sticks as much now.

Las pedi de regalo para mi hermano, muy buena marca, paquete llego deacuerdo a fecha, muy bien protegido contra golpes.

La calidad de las baquetas es genial, el agarre que tienen permite no tengas que preocuparte por que salgan volando.
