5A Purple DIP Drumsticks

I got the black version of these. I really like them. The pair I got is nice and straight with a little bit of weight behind it. I got the 5A model. It has gold lettering, which will rub off with sweat. They do look black however, they have a slight twinge of blue to it. I’m a little scared of using these on my white heads because I’m worried the black tip will stain the heads. other than that, I use them a lot on my practice pad. They feel nice and even it just sucks that they are 15 bucks, I remember when drumsticks used to be four dollars.

I've been using Zildjian/Vic Firth (with Vic Grip) drum sticks for 25 years, and they've always been high quality sticks--well-balanced and solid. Now I finally have a pair in my favorite color--purple! I have a black pair and a red pair (that I use at Christmas), as well.

I love the Solid Black color of these drumsticks. They are just right for playing gigs and jamming sessions. They are not too heavy so you have the perfect sound all the time. They are made to last and light weight at the same time. They are not too heavy and you can play licks at any tempo speed.

Zildjian dips have been my preferred sticks for years. They provide a nice grip without giving you blisters, and the plastic dip lasts a decent amount of time before wearing through. (Purple wasn't my first choice, but they arrived faster than black, and I needed them in a rush for a gig). Only problem I've found is that dogs LOVE to find them and chew on them (which is why I needed to rush ship a new pair of sticks in the first place 😑)

They are realy good, the quality is really good

I have a tendency to drop sticks after my hands get a bit tired. I like these but the rubber breaks down over time where I hold them. I usually replace them every handful of months for that reason. So far they've really helped as normal sticks I get aches in my hands. The green ones are a less dense wood and it's a slight preference to these as they are lighter.

Since they don’t make the HEAVY JAZZ stick anymore this is the next best thing. I WOULD NOT AND WILL NOT USE ANY OTHER STICK .

Nice well balanced stick. Great feel. Nice stick sound on the ride. Excellent power through the crash. Grip sticks nicely. The only negative is the coating gets a little thin on the end of the stick and can tear easily. Would love to see them double dipped on the bottom inch.

As a beginner drummer who start using French grip, I found this stick have pretty good grip and doesn't have the problem with the sliding back and forth. Oh yes, it will cause Calluses on your index finger as the grip part (that purple colour part) is kind of "coarse" wax, but it helps with better grip in return.

Great sticks that I bought specifically for my Roland TD 17kvx. They are light, made with quality, offer a great flex when struck on the mesh heads.

La sensación que otorga el recubrimiento morado es única. Mejora mucho el agarre, definitivamente son las mejores baquetas que he usado en mi vida.

just love playing with these so nice to hold and look at. shame th elogo is wearing off but just using them so much.

Good quality and price
