Zildjian 7A Nylon Hickory Drumsticks, Round Nylon Tip
The Zildjian 7A Nylon is a pair of slim hickory drumsticks with a small round nylon tip. The 7A profile gives a light touch; the nylon tip makes every stroke stand out on the ride and hi-hats.
What sets it apart
- Slim 7A profile, light touch
- Small round nylon tip
- Clear articulation
Every ride note in its place
In jazz or acoustic music, the ride often carries the time. A small round tip focuses the contact, and nylon makes the attack crisper: together, they separate each note from the cymbal's wash. At 15.5" and 0.520", the stick stays light for fast tempos.

Frequently asked questions
- 7A or 7AN?
- Same size, different tip. The 7A has a round wood tip; the 7AN, a round nylon tip with a crisper attack.
- Nylon tips for jazz?
- They separate notes well on the ride, thanks to a crisper attack. Zildjian points out that wood, warmer, is the other option: it's a matter of taste and cymbals.
- Are 7A drumsticks longer than 5A?
- No. At Zildjian, the 7A is 15.5" long, against 16" for the 5A, and it's thinner.
