The Zildjian 5ACBU Chroma Blue 5A Sticks are Hickory drum sticks in size 5A with a chrome-like metallic lacquer finish in blue. The format of the drumsticks is the same as the conventional Zildjian 5A sticks, but Zildjian is the first manufacturer in the world to offer drum sticks with a metallic finish with the Chroma series. The chrome-like lacquer interacts with light sources on stage or in the rehearsal room and creates a unique glittering effect while playing.
