Zildjian Taylor Hawkins Artist Series Drumstick: High-Octane Rock Precision

The Zildjian Taylor Hawkins Signature Stick is the engine that drove the legendary sound of the Foo Fighters. Modeled after the versatility of a 5B but "powered up" for the stage, this stick is designed for drummers who need unexpected punch and effortless projection. Whether you’re laying down a heavy stadium groove or playing intricate fusion, these sticks deliver a bold, balanced response that stands up to the most aggressive playing styles.

The 5B Profile—Reimagined for Power

Taylor Hawkins worked with Zildjian to create a stick that feels familiar in the hand but carries significantly more "throw" than a standard model:

• Powered-Up 5B Shaft: Features a 5B-sized diameter (.585") that provides a comfortable, substantial grip while shifting the mass toward the front of the stick for increased impact.
• Shorter Taper: The abbreviated taper adds physical weight and durability to the shoulder, providing extra "thud" on toms and a powerful, consistent rimshot.
• Large Round Wood Tip: Designed to draw out a bold, woody rock sound from snare drums and a bright, clear "ping" from cymbals without the wash getting out of control.

Built for the Road

Constructed to survive the rigors of world tours and high-intensity sessions:

• U.S. Select Hickory: Crafted from the finest American Hickory, known for its resilience and ability to absorb the shock of heavy hitting, protecting your wrists and hands from fatigue.
• Superior Projection: The thicker diameter and forward-weighted balance allow this stick to project easily across loud stages, ensuring your backbeat is felt in the back of the room.
• Versatile Balance: Despite its "Rock" pedigree, the overall design is expertly balanced, making it a "do-it-all" stick suitable for any genre that requires clarity and presence.
