Avedis Zildjian Company Drumsticks

This limited edition Zildjian 400th Anniversary design celebrates the birth of jazz music and the role of Zildjian cymbals during that era. From the 1930s to the 1950s, Avedis Zildjian quickly embraced the talented musicians who were leading the jazz movement. Having experienced discrimination during his own childhood as an Armenian living in Turkey, Avedis vowed that there would be no place for discrimination at the Zildjian Company. He collaborated closely with African-American artists like Chick Webb and Papa Jo Jones (who helped Avedis develop the HiHat). During this period of innovation, the “Paper Thin Crash,” “Ride,” “Splash,” “HiHat,” and “Sizzle” cymbals were all developed and named by Avedis. To celebrate this rich time in Zildjian history, the Jazz design evokes the collaborative spirit and continuous movement of jazz music.

The DIP Nylon Tip 5B with Classical Cymbalist Design is a favorite size among drummers of all skill levels. It delivers a strong sound with a little more stick due to the nylon tip, which provides a slightly brighter, focused sound. The DIP also offers a comfortable, slightly tacky gripping surface for the drummer.
