Zildjian's Ringo Starr Artist Series drumsticks represent a collaboration between one of rock's most influential drummers and a cymbal manufacturer with deep roots in percussion craft. These sticks adopt a 5A–type profile–versatile enough for studio and stage work–while incorporating design input from Starr himself. The elongated oval tip is the key differentiator, engineered to produce broader, rounder tones compared to standard stick geometries.
Constructed from U.S. Select Hickory, these sticks feature Zildjian's proprietary DIP® coating in vibrant purple, which serves dual purposes: enhanced grip security and reduced hand fatigue during extended playing sessions. The coating also improves stick longevity by protecting the wood from moisture absorption and wear. Each stick bears Ringo's signature and trademark star imprint, and the 5A dimensions make them suitable across rock, pop, and general–purpose drumming applications where a balanced weight and response are priorities.
