Zildjian 7A DIP Hickory Drumsticks with Grip Coating, Round Tip
Zildjian 7A DIP hickory drumsticks: a slim profile, a round tip and a non-slip coating on the grip.
The Zildjian 7A DIP is a pair of slim hickory drumsticks with a small round wood tip and a DIP coating on the grip area. The 7A profile aims for a light touch; the DIP keeps the stick in hand without you having to squeeze it.
What sets it apart
- Slim, light 7A profile
- DIP coating on the grip
- Round tip for articulation
Light in the hand, steady in the fingers
A thin stick takes less effort, but it can spin in a sweaty hand. DIP solves that: its slightly tacky surface lets you, according to Zildjian, loosen your grip and relax your hands. At 15.5" long and 0.520" in diameter, the 7A DIP stays nimble on the cymbals.
