Zildjian Zak Starkey Artist Series Drumsticks

£15.99

Crafted for high-energy rock performances, the Zildjian Zak Starkey Artist Series Drumsticks are built to match the explosive power and commanding style of legendary drummer Zak Starkey. Known for his work with iconic bands like The Who and Oasis, Zak needed a stick that could deliver both volume and durability – and this model delivers exactly that.

With a longer length, slightly thicker diameter, and a beefy neck, the ZASZS is designed to project through loud mixes while remaining balanced in hand. An oversized acorn tip produces strong articulation and full-bodied cymbal sound, making it the perfect stick for stadium stages and rock-heavy sets.

Key Features:

  • Tip: Oversized Acorn Wood Tip – Produces bold cymbal tones and strong articulation

  • Taper: Medium – Offers controlled rebound and balanced feel

  • Material: Premium USA Hickory – Durable and resilient under heavy playing

  • Diameter: Slightly thicker than a standard 5A – For added power and volume

  • Length: Extended – Provides greater reach and leverage

  • Finish: Natural – Smooth, uncoated wood for a raw, connected grip

Availability: Available to order SKU: ZASZS
