Zildjian 5A Blue Hickory Drumsticks, Wood Tip
Zildjian 5A blue hickory drumsticks: the measurements of the brand's 5A, an oval wood tip, a blue finish.
The blue Zildjian 5A keeps the measurements of the brand's 5A, oval wood tip included, in a blue finish. Zildjian presents it as a way to add colour to its favourite models without changing a thing about how they play.
What sets it apart
- Blue finish
- Oval tip, full sound
- Same balance as the standard 5A
Finding the right stick
Zildjian points out that the feel of a stick is personal to each drummer. To help, it publishes an introductory video, "Drumsticks 101", on what shapes sound and feel, and a search tool, the Drumstick Finder. The 5A is often where that search begins.
