Zildjian 5A Acorn Neon Hickory Drumsticks, Yellow
Zildjian 5A Acorn Neon yellow hickory drumsticks: 16.25", an acorn tip and a neon finish that glows under black light.
The yellow Zildjian 5A Acorn Neon is a pair of hickory drumsticks with an acorn tip, in a neon yellow that glows under black light. At 16.25", it's a quarter inch longer than the brand's classic 5A.
What sets it apart
- Multi-layer neon yellow
- 16.25": a little more reach
- Acorn wood tip
A quarter inch that counts
Zildjian explains that a longer stick increases reach, response, flexibility and leverage, while a shorter one is easier to control. At 16.25", this Acorn gains a little extra reach toward the toms and far cymbals without getting unwieldy.

Frequently asked questions
- What light makes these sticks glow?
- Black light, meaning ultraviolet. Zildjian states that its neon finishes glow under that kind of lighting.
- Are 5A drumsticks good for metal?
- To play loud, drummers often look for more mass. This Acorn, at 0.570", is slightly thicker than Zildjian's standard 5A; beyond that, you move up to a 5B.
- Which drumsticks for beginners?
- A 5A is often the first pair recommended. This Acorn version, a bit beefier, suits a beginner who's already comfortable.
