Zildjian 5A Nylon DIP Drumsticks

I love these sticks and I gave them 5 stars relative to anything else on the market. But there is still room for improvement - the coating needs to last longer and it could be a tad bit stickier. The coating will generally last me about 10 to 12 one-hour sessions before blistering then ripping, playing fast and heavy music. The stick generally break after about 10 to 20 sessions, which is as good as I've found in a stick anywhere.

Awesome 5A Zildjian! Nice grip on the dipped sticks also!!I have been using 7A or 8AN Vic Firth as a beginner drummer and those are slightly heavier in weight and thicker (not dipped). I wasn't able to get a good enough grip while playing on my electric drum kit. Will save these for when i get an acoustic set i guess for more of a "punch".Been playing with the Zildjian 5A Nylon Dip Drumsticks for a couple of months now and I love them, they are a perfect balance of weight/size/grip with my small hands and doesn't wear out my wrists as quickly.

These have been my go to sticks for several years now. I’m a worship drummer. We play contemporary & gospel music & these stick are great. Light weight but durable. Nice grip with the dipped ends.

I have used these sticks for over 3 years. I love how they feel and how they play. They’re light and easy to grip. The only bad thing about them is that the plastidip always wears down within 4-6 months. Well worth the money though.

I prefer these over my Vic's.Love how the friction coating on these sticks in truly integrated/merged into the wood. Better than the coated Vic sticks, which tend to peal after extended use.

Never really used Zildjian sticks to much but i love these. Really good weight and balance. Great grips. I may like them more than Vic Firth

I like these sticks because I like light thinner styles. The added dip gives it not only a good feel and handle but a little extra heft on your strike.

I’ve used Zildjian dipsticks for years. Easier to grip, easier on your hands. However, on a long sweaty night of drumming, they can tear up your hands. Just be aware…

Sturdy, well made.

Excellent item. Fast delivery. Very good quality

Not for Normal drumming. Found too heavy and hurts skin .Buy only if you have used a nylon grip dip skin sticks .

These have a great grip and feel. I use them with my Roland TD-25 with mesh heads, and they feel great. The nylon tip doesn't really affect the sound on electronic drums, but I like that it minimizes the dust transfer from the sticks to the rubber parts of the kit.

I’m a beginner drummer and love the grip on these. Using them on an electronic kit with mesh heads.
