Zildjian Limited Edition 400th Anniversary 5B Drumsticks

To mark 400 years of rhythmic innovation, Zildjian introduces the 400th Anniversary Limited Edition Drumstick Collection – a curated series honouring the brand’s enduring impact across musical history. This edition celebrates the explosion of Zildjian cymbals in popular music, especially during the iconic 1960s British Invasion era. When The Beatles took the stage on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, Zildjian cymbals became the gold standard — driving demand and defining the sound of a generation.

The Z5B-400 5B Wood Tip model features a bold, colorful design inspired by 1960s concert posters, paying homage to the psychedelic art and cultural energy of that time. With its classic 5B specs, this stick offers a reliable, slightly punchy feel that’s perfect for both retro flair and modern grooves.

Key Features:

Tip: Acorn Wood Tip – Produces warm tones with articulate cymbal definition
Taper: Medium – Offers a balanced rebound and responsive feel
Material: Premium USA Hickory – Durable, dependable, and built to perform
Diameter: 5B – Heavier than a 5A for more power and control
Length: Standard 5B – Comfortable reach for confident play
Finish: Clear Lacquer – Natural feel with a glossy sheen
Design: Limited Edition 60s Rock Poster Artwork – Retro visuals celebrating Zildjian’s role in shaping pop music history
