Zildjian Antonio Sanchez Artist Series Hickory Drumsticks, Barrel Tip
The Zildjian Antonio Sanchez Artist Series is drummer Antonio Sanchez's signature stick. It combines a standard-diameter shaft, extra length and a heavier front end, so you can hit harder when the music calls for it, with a barrel tip that gives every stroke clear definition.
What sets it apart
- Heavier front end, more power
- 16.25" for reach and leverage
- Barrel tip, well-defined stick sound
Weight where you strike
On this model, Zildjian shifts weight toward the front: each stroke carries more mass without a tighter grip. The 16.25" length adds reach and leverage, and the barrel tip gives the stick sound sharp definition along with full drum tones. It's a setup built for jazz fusion, where dynamics jump quickly from a whisper to a hit.
