Zildjian Manu Katche Artist Series Drumsticks


£15.99
Designed in collaboration with internationally acclaimed drummer Manu Katchรฉ, the Zildjian Manu Katchรฉ Artist Series Drumsticks are built for precision, control, and musicality. With a resume that spans pop, rock, world, and jazz – including work with Peter Gabriel, Sting and Jan Garbarek – Manu required a stick that could adapt to a wide variety of musical situations with subtlety and finesse.
Featuring a shorter length and a small round tip, the ZASMK offers a light, articulate touch that’s ideal for softer playing styles, intimate acoustic settings, or studio work. The slim profile ensures excellent control, while the natural finish provides a clean, comfortable feel in the hand.

-
Tip: Small Round Wood Tip – Offers precise, clear articulation on cymbals and drums

Taper: Medium – Balances control and rebound for musical expression
