Zildjian Z Custom LE Black Chroma 5A Nylon Tip Drumsticks

Overview

A drum kit with Z Custom cymbals is the natural home for these limited-edition sticks, whose design pays homage to the cymbal series of the same name. The sound is listed as brighter and focused, with a black chroma finish over hickory.

Zildjian designed the sticks to mark the return of the Z Custom cymbals after a long hiatus, and four unique designs exist across the run. The nylon tip suits drummers who want a brighter attack. The limitation is thin sizing detail in the listing.

Who it's for

Zildjian players and collectors who like a limited design in a hickory stick with a brighter tone. Drummers who favor a wood tip, or who need exact dimensions, should look at the wood-tip models in the same series.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

A nylon tip produces a brighter, more focused attack on cymbals than a wood tip does, which matches the sound profile listed. Hickory is the stick material. Weight and balance are not described beyond the listed weight.
