Zildjian 7AND 7a Nylon Dip Drumsticks

Zildjian 7A drum sticks (2010-07-27) : 4/5
These sticks are rather light, very good for soft playing or when you want to use sticks over brushes but need to be quiet. The dip is very comfortable and helps keep a good grip. My previous sticks lost their dip after about 8 months, so I expect the same with these. I would recommend these for beginners or intermediates. Should note that I play hard-rock.
the perfect drumstick (2010-03-05) : 5/5
i can't think of any way to improve this stick...it is light but still able to make a lot of noise...and the rubber grip keeps it from flying out of my hand when i'm going fast, even when my hands are sweaty. it's the only stick i use now and i've been playing for years.
One of the most comfortable sticks I've played with (2010-01-30) : 5/5
Bought these from .com rather than .co.uk as the USA price is half that of the stick price in the UK. These sticks are lightweight, evenly balanced and nylon-tipped (ideal for lighter jazz drumming or for use with the head-style electronic kits such as the Roland TD series).br /The rubberized coating on the grips last for quite a long time before they begin to peel...I know that in my case the tips and wood started to show damage before the grips did!br /Lovely machined stick for the price. Recommended.
Not as expected (2010-01-27) : 2/5
These were a Christmas present for my 16yr old son who has recently started playing the drums. Unfortunately one of them split after only a short while of using them. He had to buy another set from a local store to take to his lesson with him. Great looking sticks but rather fragile.
Love these sticks. (2010-01-10) : 5/5
Yes, I love these sticks. They stay in my hand, and they are the right weight and feel. I recommend them to new and experienced drummers alike.
