Zildjian 5A Maple DIP Drumsticks with Green Grip Coating
Zildjian 5A Maple DIP drumsticks: light maple with a dark sound, and a double layer of green DIP on the grip.
The Zildjian 5A Maple DIP is a pair of maple 5A drumsticks whose grip area carries a double layer of green DIP coating. Lighter than hickory, maple gives darker tones and a softer feel: a very sensitive, easy-to-control stick.
What sets it apart
- Maple, lighter than hickory
- Darker tones, softer feel
- Double layer of green DIP
A little weight toward the back
On its Maple DIP models, Zildjian applies two coats of DIP. That thickness adds weight to the back of the stick, an effect you notice most on maple precisely because it's light. You get maximum grip that keeps your hands relaxed, in a stick light enough to move fast.
