Zildjian 5B DIP Hickory Drumsticks with Black Grip Coating, Wood Tip
Zildjian 5B DIP drumsticks: the hickory 5B with black DIP on the grip, to hold the stick without squeezing it.
The Zildjian 5B DIP is a pair of hickory 5B sticks with a black DIP coating on the grip area. That comfortable, slightly tacky surface lets you loosen your fingers without the stick slipping, on the size many drummers pick for playing loud.
What sets it apart
- Black DIP on the grip area
- Relaxed grip, rested hands
- 0.600" 5B size
A 5B that stays in your hand
When your hands sweat, you tend to squeeze the stick and tense up. DIP offers a surface that grips a little, and Zildjian points out that it lets you loosen your grip and relax your hands. Nothing else changes: 16", 0.600", hickory and a medium taper.

Frequently asked questions
- What does DIP add to a 5B?
- A comfortable, slightly tacky surface on the grip area that lets you loosen your fingers and relax your hands, according to Zildjian.
- Is there a 5B with a non-slip grip?
- This is it. The 5B DIP keeps the 5B's measurements and adds black DIP on the grip.
- Is the whole stick black?
- No: the black is the DIP, applied to the grip area. Zildjian doesn't list any other colour on the rest of the stick.
