Avedis Zildjian Company 7A Nylon DIP Drumsticks

We used these for an introductory rock drumming intensive. They were super comfortable in the students hands, not to heavy, and very sturdy. Color was just as pictured and they are a great price too!

They are the best sticks I ever had. They are non slip.

I like the 7a. And the dipped sticks have great grip. Durable and with a nice sound. I've played these for years

Was at first put off by others saying they received the wrong product but decided to buy anyway and was glad I did! Drum sticks arrived as advertised and they look and feel great in the hand! 7A makes it the perfect size and weight for my hands and the dip grip helps me play even with my sweaty hands. Hickory wood is very durable as well, no complaints!Can’t comment on sound though as I play e-drums but it triggers with no issues at all.

Awesome!

I have used the Zildjian and Vic Firth rubber-dipped sticks for years. My hands are naturally dry so I cannot play with a set of woods sticks unless coated.This particular model is made of a very nice hickory. They are super balanced, perfectly weighted from end to end, and strong.I use this stick to play jazz on an acoustic kit. The round wooden tip is not for every kind of music. This works well for a lighter jazz sound. It does not bring a large amount of sound out of drums or cymbals, which is great for some songs.For a richer sound, I use the Vic Firth 7a stick with a teardrop-shaped wooden tip, with the red dipped grip. That is also a great stick, perhaps a little thicker and heavier in spite of the same size designation. Both great.I love these sticks but I gave them four stars since the rubber grip wears out right where my hand has the most contact, about 1/3 up from the bottom, or a little more. The grips wear out long before the stick would ever do so.Recommended.

I am updating after a couple months of use. Adding a star because I just love these. The dip they add is grippy and comfy in my hands.I am a new drummer but quickly realized that the standard 5A sticks may not be for my dainty paws.Pros:Small and lightweight. For those who don't know know the 7A sticks are thinner and a tad shorter than 5A.The handle dip is a nice touch it helps keep the sticks in my hands better than the sticks with a type of varnish finish.Cons:I deducted the 1 star because the part of the stick that is not dipped is plain wood and seems a little brittle as it is leaving wood marks on my symbols, had this portion had some kind of varnish that would have been a great addition to a pretty awesome set of drum sticks.
