Zildjian 5B Maple DIP Drumsticks with Green Grip Coating
Zildjian 5B Maple DIP drumsticks: the 5B size in light, dark-sounding maple, with a double layer of green DIP on the grip.
The Zildjian 5B Maple DIP is a pair of maple 5B sticks with a double layer of green DIP on the grip. Zildjian calls it solid yet forgiving: the thickness of a 5B, the lightness and dark tones of maple, and maximum grip to keep your hands relaxed.
What sets it apart
- 5B size in maple, lighter than hickory
- Dark tones, soft feel
- Double layer of green DIP
Your 5B, in maple
Zildjian offers maple as a supplement to the stick you already play: a new, yet very familiar treatment. A maple 5B keeps the 0.600" diameter without the weight of hickory, and gives darker tones on the cymbals. The double layer of DIP shifts a little weight toward the back, which balances a stick light enough to fly.

Frequently asked questions
- Is a maple 5B a good idea?
- For a darker sound and a softer feel, yes. Zildjian presents maple as a lightweight alternative to hickory, in the same size.
- Why is the DIP green?
- That's the colour of this version, the 5B Maple Green DIP. The green is applied in a double layer on the grip area.
- Does the double DIP layer change the balance?
- Yes. According to Zildjian, it shifts weight toward the back of the stick, an effect most noticeable on light maple.
