Zildjian Ringo Starr Artist Series Hickory Drumsticks with Purple DIP

An all-purpose stick
Ringo Starr has inspired generations of drummers, and he helped Zildjian design this very well-rounded stick: a 5A at 0.545" by 16", with a long taper. The elongated oval tip gives a broad sound on the cymbals, and the purple DIP keeps a secure grip without tensing your hand.
