Zildjian 5B Hickory Drumsticks, Wood Tip
Zildjian 5B hickory drumsticks: 16" by 0.600", the favourite size for drummers who want more sound than a 5A.
The Zildjian 5B is a pair of 16" hickory drumsticks with a 0.600" diameter, a consistent favourite for its medium-sized dimensions. A bit thicker than a 5A, it puts more wood in your hand and more sound on the kit, without getting as massive as a 2B.
What sets it apart
- A favourite for its medium dimensions
- 0.600", thicker than a 5A
- Hickory, medium taper
Between the 5A and the 2B
Stick sizes read like a ladder. At Zildjian, the 5A measures 0.560", the 5B 0.600" and the 2B 0.625", all at 16". The 5B sits in the middle: thick enough to carry loud rock, slim enough to stay agile, and Zildjian calls it a consistent favourite among drummers.
