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.

  • Made of select hickory for power and durability
  • Manufactured to be 100% straight
  • Black Dip handles provide a better grip and shock absorption
  • Oval tips have good cymbal articulation
  • 16" length has a familiar reach

In complete opposition to other review

Unless they have changed the way they manufacture these, I purchased 2 pairs 3-4 years ago, and the grip just peeled off my second set. Now, I am not an every day drummer, but my style is to playa a lot of snare rim accents. I was very pleasantly surprised at how long they held up.

very good sticks

but the Dip wears off very quickly.

They're Okay

I am an avid drummer, who plays daily. The "Dip" coating wore off for me after about two months of using the same pair (estimate 50-60 hours of performance time).

The stick itself, however, still performs well without the coating (which, thankfully, does not leave behind any kind of residue when it peels off). The nylon tip is great for my electronic setup because it seems to be much more gentle on the rubber pads than a wooden tip would be; I rarely get scuffs with these.

In shorter terms, the "Dip" does provide a nice grip and feel, but it doesn't last for as long as I would like it to, so you might be better off purchasing a conventional stick; Otherwise, it would be wise to order multiple pairs.

Rip off!!!!

Don't waste your money on these. I bought 3 pairs, black dip started wearing/peeling after a few hours of play. Stick to cymbals Zildjian, dig a hole and bury these sticks along with your cymbal polish....

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.
