from 5242 reviewsI used Zildjian Dip 2Bs for years. My hands sweat, I don't like gloves or wristbands. I don't even wear jewelery when I play (shoes either. TMI?)
Zildjian stopped making them. I called to see if I could put in an order for a run of 144 sticks and they said NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT! So i've been trying other sticks, but nothing works like the Dip Sticks. The Promark Rebound are about the closest I've found to fill the void. Damn You Zildjian. Thank you Promark. And Thank you Drum Center for your help in this matter. Great Store.
Tuned it up with the stock heads and was thoroughly impressed. Being a jazz guy, I will be experimenting with different head combos to see what works best for my needs. As of now (with the stock heads) I’m loving the medium, medium high tuning. So glad I pulled the trigger on this beauty.
I would give it 10 stars if I could!!! Wish I invented this! Makes changing heads fast and easy without needing a drill or batteries! Just toss it in your stick bag! It’s always ready!
These have been around for a while now, and for good reason. They sound great!
Glad to find these available, just what my 1974 Dyna-Sonic needed. Perfect fit, crisp and articulate. way better than improvised replacements.
As advertised
Does the trick at a great price point.
Best ever!
I am very pleased with the snare drum. It not only sounds amazing but looks great also. Thank you.
This is exactly THE SOUND and FEEL that I was seeking. Tonal warmth, controlled overtones, dynamic responsiveness from delicate to hard playing, filtering of high frequency overtones. Sustain is just right. I added an extra REMO’s Ring for some additional control on the 14” and 16” FTs, but not needed on the smaller toms. Stick feel is on the soft side, not bouncy. There is zero sense of a plastic ringy sound or plastic feel. If you have any inclination towards calf-like heads, you should consider these. They bridge the gap nicely between natural and film heads. Don’t let the name fool you - these are all-purpose heads from gentle studio playing, jazz, to live rock. I have tried many brands and models of tom heads over the years. The Powerstroke P4 Coated is my favorite for my Sonor tom batter heads.

Fast and reliable
Love DCPS! Easy to talk with and always helpful. If they weren't 23 hours away, I'd drive there weekly!
Fits properly. EVERY gigging drummer needs memory locks unless you can find a drum tech for $2 an hour. 😂 I am trying to find one but I am having no luck. Know of anybody? 😜 This helps make set up faster because all drummer I know love setting up and tearing down. 😩
Very happy with my purchase. No damage in shipping and amazing snare!
