Zildjian Drumsticks Trilok Gurtu 'Rock' Artist Series

Trilok Gurtu's signature rock stick represents a purposeful evolution of his artist series, scaled up for players who demand heft and projection. Gurtu's reputation as a world percussion master translates into design choices that prioritise controlled power–the larger dimensions suit rock and fusion contexts where sustained dynamics matter. Crafted from U.S. Select Hickory, these sticks anchor themselves through a distinctive notch at the fulcrum point, engineered for secure grip without sacrificing natural rebound.

The double yellow DIP® coating on the handle delivers tangible traction during extended play, whilst the walnut stain finish marks a visual distinction from standard offerings. Larger rock proportions mean increased mass and leverage compared to standard models, benefiting players seeking projection across larger kits and live stages. The notch geometry addresses a recurring grip concern: maintaining control during hard playing without creating tension that fatigues the hand. hickory's natural flex characteristics combined with the DIP treatment create a predictable contact surface under sweat and sustained impact.
