Zildjian 5A Nylon Black Dip Drumsticks

I have just begun to practice the drums and even though I have a set of drum sticks I heard it is a good idea to have more than one set of drum sticks. I decided to purchase this model (Zildjian 5 A, Nylon Black Dip drum sticks) which I bought for a bargain price on Amazon. I like the black grip portion when practicing drumming. This model also has a nylon tip.I am just a beginner learning how to play the drums but I really like the way these drum sticks feel in my hand when I practice. If you are into drums you may want to check out this type of drum stick.Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Use of the cane, walking stick and Hanbo for self-defense).

These sticks are PERFECT and a pair will last you many years. Don't waste you money on the cheap sticks. It is false economy as they break, chip and the plastic tips fall off. For my money, these are the absolute best sticks on the market. I'm an old, wise drummer of several decades. I appear on over 50 albums and have toured the world performing. Needless to say I have tried many, many types of drum sticks from cheap to expensive and NONE are as good as these Zildjian 5A Nylon Black Dip Drumsticks. Use these and you will never ever go back to another stick!

These sticks provided extra grip, especially if your hands sweat very much. They are a little heavier than non-dipped sticks, but that's actually good for practicing rudiments. It strengthens your hands as you play. It is good to go back and forth between non-dipped sticks and these as you will have trouble holding non-dipped wood sticks if you only practice with these dipped sticks. The sticks are well balanced. Nylon tips are good for electronic drums, as they do not mark the cymbals.

Ok, so I am not a drummer but I did buy rock band 2 with the drum set and wanted something heavier than the sticks that came with the set. I did some research and read reviews that 5A's were a good weight to start out with. I also liked the fact that these sticks had a rubber coating on them that looked good and provided some extra grip. I know it is probably from my inexpierience in gripping the sticks that the rubber actually caused a slight blister on my finger. I received these sticks in October and finally in February and there are thumb sized holes through the rubber and the top of the rubber is loose. I decided to take the rubber off, but the sticks have held up to my non drummer abuse and I would definately buy another pair again.

Well, they are wooden drum sticks with nylon tips and black grip areas that are coated with some kind of tacky material that keeps the sticks from sliding out of your hands. They look sweet with the Black and Maple contrast, along with the gold Zildjian imprint.The weight and thickness is perfect in my hands. They seem to be very well made, as I would expect from anything bearing the Zildjian name.I don't hit super hard and the lightweight of the 5A's allow me to play a little faster than the next size up, so I'll be sticking with this particular model for the foreseeable future.If you're already already using 5A's and you haven't tried these, it's worth giving them a shot.

Awesome drum sticks for the price. I tend to be a bit heavy handed when I play, and I've broken a lot of sticks in my day, but these hold up well when I'm smashing a floor tom. The grips are also extremely comfortable and I think they look awesome. I would definitely recommend these to any other drummers that like to play pretty hard.

These are great drumsticks. The black grip part is a little coarse, so it's better to wear gloves. The skin on my thumb was hurting after the first day using these without gloves, but after that it was ok. They're heavier than what I'm used to, but the bounce is great; so my speed has improved with these. The plastic tips should make them more durable than the regular ones.

These are stable in my hands so I can concentrate on playing!

Perfect!

Las pedi de regalo para mi hermano, muy buena marca, paquete llego deacuerdo a fecha, muy bien protegido contra golpes.

The rubber at the holding end of the stick is welcome for me because I don't drop sticks as much now.

La calidad de las baquetas es genial, el agarre que tienen permite no tengas que preocuparte por que salgan volando.

heavy sticks provides solid hit
