The innovative black DIP coating was developed through extensive research to provide superior grip and a unique sound. The coating is applied to the grip end of the stick, giving drummers a secure hold for tireless playing. In addition to boosting grip, the DIP coating actually enhances the sound of the stick.

Perfectly Balanced and Weighted

Zildjian DIP drum sticks are precision crafted and hand-inspected to ensure the utmost quality. Each stick is weighted and paired to provide ideal balance, allowing for smooth controlled playing. The responsive hickory wood transmits a clear, articulate tone with plenty of attack.

The hickory wood is chosen for its hardness and resilience, and the stick tips are designed to produce a broad range of sounds without premature wear. These versatile sticks are suitable for a wide range of musical styles from rock to jazz to classical.

The Perfect Accessory for Any Drummer

Say Goodbye To Dropping Your Sticks

I've been using the Zildjian Dip 5A's for about three years, and I don't think I could recommend a better stick for jazz to heavy drummers alike! The thin rubberized coating prevents alot of the reverb from getting to your hands, especcially when used on cymbals. Also the coating makes it much more difficult to drop your sticks. The rubber doesn't last very long though. It can bubble up in some areas and peel off after a few long stretches of playing, but while it lasts it's a very comfortable stick.

Where'd the stick go?

Oh its still in my hand... wheres the rest of it? it broke? after half a song? oh... well thats weird. Ill just get the other pair i bought, these must just be faulty. (few minutes later) ouch, a piece of the stick just hit my face. Oh, it broke. The grips are a wonderful idea, and work well. But the sticks tend to vibrate a lot actually, and they break wicked wicked easy. I honestly would suggest not buying a pair of these sticks, at all. Try other methods to get grip. Maybe tape? All sizes and tips and anything in this series breaks easily like this. read the other reviews one of them at least mentions BOTH of his pairs breaking as well.

    I use these for R&R and Blues. They're a versatile weight and length. The coating helps to make a very secure grip even when hands get sweaty. There is one thing that's problematic for me and that is the coating on the butts wear first which makes the ends uncomfortable. For me, that tends to be near the end of the life of the sticks anyway. However, after several years of using these sticks, I just came up with a possible solution that I'm going to try. That is cutting the coating off of just the butts when they are new, to be proactive. #sweepstakes

    I play mostly to R&R and Blues and I find them to be a great weight and good length. The coated grips are handy when palms get sweaty and offer a good solid grasp all the time. The only thing that's regrettable is the butts wear and that doesn't feel so good. But that's near the end of their lifespan, which is a good amount of playing for me.
