The Zildjian 5ACG Chroma Gold 5A sticks are hickory drum sticks in the popular size 5A with a chrome-like metallic finish in gold. 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.
