Zildjian Limited Edition 400th Anniversary 5A Drumsticks
To commemorate 400 years of rhythmic legacy, Zildjian proudly presents the 400th Anniversary Limited Edition Drumstick Collection – a tribute to pivotal moments that shaped the brand’s influence across generations of music. This edition celebrates Zildjian’s explosive rise during the 1960s, as the British Invasion propelled the brand to the forefront of popular music. When The Beatles performed on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, demand for Zildjian cymbals surged – ending the year with over 90,000 cymbals on backorder.
The Z5A-400 5A Wood Tip model captures this cultural moment with a vivid design inspired by 60s concert posters – a nod to the era’s bold visual style and revolutionary sound. Paired with Zildjian’s most popular stick profile, this model offers the familiar feel drummers love, wrapped in a unique, collectible design.
