I've found these green dip 5B sticks are my favorite for my electronic drums
September 7, 2017
I've found these green dip 5B sticks are my favorite for my electronic drums. The weight, balance, and thickness work perfectly for me, and the rubber has the perfect grippiness without being stick. These will be my go-to sticks from now on.
Great for the practice pad.
July 23, 2017
This is just personal preference for a rank amateur using an e-kit. After trying these I still prefer the 5A Anti-vibes for general use on the e-kit, and don't think the heavier, thicker 5B Anti-vibes do anything different, apart from possibly beating up the pads some more. Though they might be more comfortable if you have hands like a blacksmith. However, I have found them very useful on the practice pad, which in turn makes playing the quiet e-kit that much more enjoyable. So it's perhaps worth getting a set of 5As and 5Bs. And with the 5Bs at less than $10, they're at least worth a try. Either way, for me, the Anti-vibes are the way to go on an e-kit; no more wrist pain!
Zildjian 5B sticks
February 4, 2017
This is my grandson's first 5B sticks. He usually uses 5A. Since he is still learning, he enjoys trying different things. He does like these.

Zildjan builds with quality, as always. The logo rubbed off relatively quickly, but these *are* drumsticks, so that was relatively inevitable. The sticks themselves are wooden with nylon tips.
great quality for the price
April 9, 2016
Bought a couple sets of sticks for my aspiring drummer and he said these are his new favorite. They don't show the dents and the grip is great (from the mouth of a 12 yr old, he is not very descriptive). Great price too. We will be ordering more when we need to.
Dipsticks!
January 19, 2016
They're great sticks and would love another pair in another size, also! Perfect for practice, very comfortable, but the dip can come off if things get super intense behind the kit (i.e. gripping hard, heavy sweating, really using the sticks harshly) and get scratched by nails.

March 30, 2017
Bought these as a gift. Drummer was thrilled with the grips. Not overly grippy, just a thin coating that is just enough to stick to one's hands.
Good sticks
February 2, 2017
Good drum sticks. I haven't had any problems besides the maker label running off but that's to be expected with most drum sticks.
too much friction.
November 1, 2016
may too grippy. got some blisters after using these for a day, haven't used them since.
Nice sticks but only good for electronic kits
February 27, 2016
I really love how these sticks feel but since they are maple they can be pretty fragile. I broke cracked my first pair by just doing a very light rim shot on my alesis dm10 drum which does have a real drum hoop. So I would say these perhaps wouldn't last very long on an acoustic drumset especially cymbal hits.
I like these drumsticks
September 14, 2015
I like these drumsticks...son likes them as well. The only issue is how fast the black paint is scratching off them. Can't totally blame the sticks as I don't necessarily see how my son treats them but they are definitely rough looking in 5 weeks!

Looks good and feels good.....BUT
March 8, 2017
Rubber grip material wears off too fast. Needs to be thicker.
Leaves black marks on cymbals
February 20, 2016
These look cool and handle just fine, but it will leave black marks on your cymbals.
Weak
February 12, 2013
These worked good for about 1 session before they broke. I wouldn't buy again. I didn't notice too much a difference.
I bought this for my Daughter
February 11, 2013
It was OK! But why put such a lousy paint job on something that will fade after use(especially on your hands). the sticks work well BUT (the paint) will peel out on your hand and mark your instruments.ALSO please note the sticks handle were made of wood! and the only part nylon were the tips OK!!!In the end I repainted the stick and re-clear coated it and no problem after that.
Marks up your equipment
March 15, 2012
These our great sticks; duable; feel great, however the black does come off and will mark up your cymbals and drum heads. You maybe better off buying the regular drumsticks and then taping them yourself.
Caused blisters
December 15, 2009
I bought these sticks for a "metal" drummer. I thought they would be more comfortable to use than the traditionall all wood sticks, but after an evening of "banging" he ended up with a few blisters. Not sure why....perhaps he just wasn't used to the rubber grip or their "non-slip" character? I think maybe the rubber caused his fingers to be a little moister than usual ? Try them, but don't buy a bunch, just in case...

October 17, 2016
they eel alright. big problems are how easy they break and after the fist time you play with em, your cymbals are covered in black paint from the drum sticks very bad ticks
Didn't feel sturdy, tip fell off mid-drumming.
September 2, 2016
So, I recieved these yesterday, ordered 2 pairs. Today I started playing, casually, as I would on any other day and the tip of the drumstick broke. I was playing a little bit hard, but the fact that it broke just after 1 day disappointed me bad. It's not even half the drumstick or something like that, the tip just fell off.
I loved the grips
August 14, 2016
Wood is too soft. Should've looked before buying. Broke after 3 practices. I loved the grips, but the wood was just too weak.
Do NOT buy
June 8, 2016
These drum sticks broke on the 1st drum session second pair of zildjian drumsticks I would not buy again bad experience with that brand.

Broke after 2 practice sessions of use.
Didn't last a week
March 17, 2014
These sticks split then broke within a few days of playing with them. First bad experience with Zildjian sticks. Hope it was a defect and would love if I could get a replacement pair.

Not as Described
December 25, 2015
These are Nylon TIPPED sticks, not Nylon sticks - please change your description.
not what i thought
February 5, 2014
These sticks broke fairly easy and leaves black marks all over your cymbals. Probably won't be buying these again ever
Vibrations overload
September 5, 2012
I figured I would give a set of these a go, since I have been using the black tipped sticks for quit a while and besides delaminating over time, I have had good luck with them. So I took these to last nights gig having never tried them until the first song. Glad it was just a run through! I have never had such serious vibration in a stick before. They went back in the bag and I finished the night with my old black ones. I have a pair of purple dipped sticks that have not yet arrived, hoping they won't be as bad. The only reason I did not chuck these in the trash is to give my son a shot at them. I won't use them again.
Huge disappointment.
January 3, 2011
I ordered these as a stocking stuffer for my son, who has been playing the drums in a band for 5 years. They are very cool looking, but one of them broke after 5 minutes of play. I expected a LOT more of Zildjian. I feel like I threw away money and my son was very disappointed.
