Zildjian 5B Anti-Vibe Hickory Drumsticks, Oval Tip
Zildjian 5B Anti-Vibe drumsticks: the 5B size with a vibration damper hidden in the butt end, for pads and electronic drums.
The Zildjian 5B Anti-Vibe is a pair of hickory 5B sticks hiding a patented vibration-reducing feature in the butt end. The 5B size gives a strong sound and fills the hand a bit more than a 5A; the Anti-Vibe spares your wrists during long sessions.
What sets it apart
- Patented vibration-reducing feature
- 5B size, a little extra punch
- Lacquer finish of a regular stick
Every stroke in the right spot
According to Zildjian, an Anti-Vibe feels like you're hitting the stick's sweet spot on every stroke. You feel it most on e-kit pads and practice pads, surfaces that send back a lot of vibration. In the 5B size, you also keep the mass and sound of a thicker stick, for playing any style.
