Maple Sticks That Grip You Back!

Hang on to your grip tape - Zildjian Maple Dip drumsticks are ready to rock without modification. Green 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. Maple's low weight and soft playing response make these Dips a good option for low-volume applications, or for players who prefer the feel of a fatter stick without the heft. And Zildjian's oval tips deliver good cymbal articulation for any style of music. If you're the type of drummer who loses your grip as the night rolls on, Sweetwater percussionists recommend keeping a set of Zildjian Maple Dips in your stick bag.

Zildjian Maple Dip Drumsticks Features:
  • Made of select maple for low weight and a soft response
  • Manufactured to be 100% straight
  • Green Dip handles provide a better grip and shock absorption
  • Oval tips have good cymbal articulation
  • 16" length has a familiar reach
  • Suited for any style, but excels at low volumes

Best grips and weight available (for me)

I have had hand issues for years and was on and off with my playing because of that. In the mid '90s I started using Easton Ahead (now just Ahead) sticks with the best success I had found at that point. I used them until 2017, when I found a stick maker offering an "Oval Hand Grip". My problem with the Ahead sticks is that the rough finish of the grip smooths out somewhat quickly. I used the grip tape and gloves, together and separately but had various issues with all of that.

As to the sticks I started using in 2017, the Oval Hand Grips helped and I ordered 7As in 16.5" and also had butt ends made with the same diameter and length. They were the best I could find at the time. I did have issues with inconsistent weight over all and the sticks seemed to feel a bit different from one to the other. Recently I realized that the grip was hampering my speed, so I set out on a new search.

I have recently tried all of the brands Sweetwater sells with any sort of a dip or gripping finish. For me, the Zildjians were the easiest to hold on to and play. I tried the Black grip ones first, but prefer these longer ones. Not a fan of the green, and I really wish they would make them with Nylon tips but they declined my request, and I was thinking about ordering a batch to last the rest of my life. These are the top of the heap, for me, for now. :)

LOVE THESE STICKS

i am not a drummer, just like tapping out rhythms on stuff and send through guitar pedals to create unique sounds, so my review comes from that perspective - these sticks are perfectly straight, very light, and very fast and responsive, with a fast bounce - have a more or less round tip thats perfect for me as i can hit stuff at any angle and get the same sound, great for just tapping beats in improvised objects - the dipped green handles seem to be double dipped for a very smooth and secure grip but not too "sticky" so can change grip fast and easy easily, highly recommend these

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.
