  • My go to sticks✅✅✅✅
Style: Black Color: Black
I got the black version of these. I really like them. The pair I got is nice and straight with a little bit of weight behind it. I got the 5A model. It has gold lettering, which will rub off with sweat. They do look black however, they have a slight twinge of blue to it. I’m a little scared of using these on my white heads because I’m worried the black tip will stain the heads. other than that, I use them a lot on my practice pad. They feel nice and even it just sucks that they are 15 bucks, I remember when drumsticks used to be four dollars. ... show more

  • High quality drum sticks in my favorite color
Style: 5A Color: Purple Dip
I've been using Zildjian/Vic Firth (with Vic Grip) drum sticks for 25 years, and they've always been high quality sticks--well-balanced and solid. Now I finally have a pair in my favorite color--purple! I have a black pair and a red pair (that I use at Christmas), as well.

  • My go-to sticks
Style: 5A Color: Purple Dip
Zildjian dips have been my preferred sticks for years. They provide a nice grip without giving you blisters, and the plastic dip lasts a decent amount of time before wearing through. (Purple wasn't my first choice, but they arrived faster than black, and I needed them in a rush for a gig). Only problem I've found is that dogs LOVE to find them and chew on them (which is why I needed to rush ship a new pair of sticks in the first place 😑) ... show more

  • Great Buy!
Style: Black Color: Black
I love the Solid Black color of these drumsticks. They are just right for playing gigs and jamming sessions. They are not too heavy so you have the perfect sound all the time. They are made to last and light weight at the same time. They are not too heavy and you can play licks at any tempo speed.

  • Laminated Birch drum stick
Style: Heavy Color: Laminated Birch
Since they don’t make the HEAVY JAZZ stick anymore this is the next best thing. I WOULD NOT AND WILL NOT USE ANY OTHER STICK .

  • I'd recommend them if you have grip issues
Style: 5A Color: Purple Dip
I have a tendency to drop sticks after my hands get a bit tired. I like these but the rubber breaks down over time where I hold them. I usually replace them every handful of months for that reason. So far they've really helped as normal sticks I get aches in my hands. The green ones are a less dense wood and it's a slight preference to these as they are lighter. ... show more
