Got these for my son in law as a christmas gift. He absolutely loved them. Great quality. Will be purchasing from this company again.

These are my favorite sticks. Grippy, but not too grippy. Love them!

If you are a beginner, get these. They don't slip out of your hands like regular sticks while you are learning grip and rudiments.

Excellent drum sticks, provide extra grip for my sweaty hands.

Originally when I first started playing I was introduced to the dip sticks and never looked back.
Glad to see Sweetwater had a value pack available for purchase.

Ask any drummer at Sweetwater, and chances are, we'll tell you that Zildjian represents the gold - or rather bronze - standard in cymbal making. Seriously, Avedis Zildjian may have been trying to make gold, but he did even better when he formulated what's arguably the best cymbal material on the planet. We've played virtually every type of Zildjian cymbal out there, and you won't find anyone at Sweetwater who wouldn't happily recommend their instruments to you, plus their sticks and other accessories are also pretty sweet. Whether you're grabbing your first S or Planet Z pack or have saved up for the A or K series cymbals you've always wanted, Sweetwater is your source for all things Zildjian.
