Hickory Sticks That Grip You Back!

Hang on to your grip tape - Zildjian Dip drumsticks are ready to rock without modification. Black Dip handles give this matched pair a better grip and shock absorption to protect your joints. That means faster, tougher playing and all-night comfort. Hickory's natural density packs a wallop at any size. And Zildjian's oval tips deliver a musical cymbal response and good articulation. If you're the type of drummer who loses your grip as the night rolls on, Sweetwater percussionists recommend keeping a set of Zildjian Dips in your stick bag.

Butter fingers?

A simple solution to an age-old problem. I'll say it plainly, I haven't dropped or knocked a stick out of my hand ONCE since getting these. I bought a second set for backup but haven't had to use them yet LoL...
They will likely solve your problem too; they're great!

Great Stick with a Great Grip

I have played in Classic Rock Bands for almost 50 years. I started using these several years ago and I have never looked back. I play a 5B nylon and they are simply the best sticks I have ever had the pleasure of using. In addition to providing me with a great grip, they also hold up extremely well and the nylon tips never fail. If you haven't done so already, do yourself a favor and give these a try. If you play your Zildjian Cymbals the way I do, these Zildjian Dip Series Sticks will serve you extremely well.

Needed these 30 years ago...

Having returned to causal drumming after a 30 year hiatus, I decided to try these after having issues with stick slippage when I last actively played. These are great. I can keep a moderate grip on the sticks, but no longer have the fear of them slipping out.

Friction blister

When I first started using them in practice I really liked them- I was less concerned about accidentally dropping a stick. But last night I played a gig in which I played two hours without a break. After an hour and a half I developed a friction blister on the lateral aspect of my left third finger ( I play both matched and traditional grip depending on the song) which has never happened to me before, and I have been playing for many years. The remainder of the event I had to play all matched grip. I am reluctant to use them again.

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.
