Description
The laminated birch Series from Zildjian truly pushes the limits of drum stick technology and design. Advanced laminated birch material improves density for projection and durability, with an incredibly smooth and solid feel that won't fatigue drummers' hands, but has a nice, even weight. The Heavy Super 5A drum stick is a denser, more robust version of the industry standard and favorite 5A featuring added length.

    These sticks are by far the BEST pair ive ever used! The weight isnt really a bad thing because it makes the sticks very balanced and responsive. The wood is very consistent, so every stick feels about the same, which is not the case for a standard hickory stick. This makes it very easy to play very fast and dynamicly. The wood itself is very durable, but there is one HUGE setback: the tips gets damaged very easily. It could be as little as an accidental hit on the edge of a cymbal and the tip will slowly wither away. After a couple of days or weeks later the tips would be so damaged that they would begin to dent my drumheads, so i would need to change sticks pretty reguarly. If zildjian made this model with nylon tips, then i would use them. Another problem not specificaly with these sticks is that the ink fades away after the first day. If zildjian could change the ink with a stronger ink then that would be top.

    I always wanted a very heavy pair with a 5a/5b diameter, and this is a dream come true! I have mostly used this at home, and i've used the same pair for the last two months! I mostly play dream theater stuff, and i found our that these sticks have the same specs as Mike manginis old signature sticks. Each stick weighs around 85 grams, and they smell Nice! The only things i can complain about is that they where hard to get from my location (Norway), and they are a bit pricey. Overall, i recommend these sticks.

  • Super Awesome Stcks!
