Zildjian 5A Chroma Hickory Drumsticks, Metallic Silver
The silver Zildjian 5A Chroma is a pair of hickory drumsticks painted in a pearlescent metallic silver. Of the four Chroma colours, it's the most understated: it matches chrome hardware and reflects the lights without clashing.
What sets it apart
- Pearlescent metallic silver
- U.S. select hickory
- Classic 5A measurements
A 5A, plus paint
On paper, nothing separates the silver Chroma from Zildjian's natural 5A: 16", 0.560", oval wood tip, medium taper. What changes is the surface. Pearlescent paint feels different from a thin coat of lacquer; if it slips in sweaty hands, Zildjian offers a stick wax to spread on the grip.

Frequently asked questions
- Chroma or classic 5A?
- Same measurements, same wood, same tip. The Chroma adds a pearlescent metallic paint on a 5A profile that Zildjian redesigned.
- How do you keep a good grip on a painted stick?
- Zildjian sells a stick wax that works on any model. For a built-in grip, the Dip series has a coating on the grip area.
- Does the Chroma come with a nylon tip?
- No, the Chroma has an oval wood tip. At Zildjian, the nylon-tip 5A is a separate model, the Z5AN.
