Rated 4.5/5

5A Wood Tip black dips

I really like the ability to pick up a "cold" pair of sticks and have them feel as if I had them in my hands for over an hour of chopping wood. I use the Wood Tip on my V-Drums and Nylon Tip on kit. The dip does hold up really well butttt........when it wears down it begins to rip and the stick finish under the Dip Coating is very slippery, so just stripping the dip off once a rip occurs is not a great option. This is why a 4.5 and not a 5.0 rating. There is hope and a way to repair the dip and double or triple the life of the coating. This is really good news since the sticks have become very comfortable in your hands and if not chopped up on cymbals or rims, which is not an issue on V-Drums Zildjian Sticks really endure. Tony K

What Do Our In-house Gear Experts Think?

I've used Zildjian Black Dip sticks for years - no more throwing or dropping sticks while I play!

Ask any drummer at Sweetwater, and chances are, we'll tell you that Zildjian represents the gold - or rather bronze - standard in cymbal making. Seriously, Avedis Zildjian may have been trying to make gold, but he did even better when he formulated what's arguably the best cymbal material on the planet. We've played virtually every type of Zildjian cymbal out there, and you won't find anyone at Sweetwater who wouldn't happily recommend their instruments to you, plus their sticks and other accessories are also pretty sweet. Whether you're grabbing your first S or ZBT pack or have saved up for the A or K series cymbals you've always wanted, Sweetwater is your source for all things Zildjian.
