ZildjianMaple Green DIP Drum Sticks - Super 7A Wood Tip
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Zildjian Super 7A wood-tip sticks with a green grip coating. A long, thin stick for players who want reach and a light touch.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Jazz, lighter rock and quieter kit playing
- Drummers whose sticks slip out during sweaty sets
- Players wanting extra reach across a spread-out kit
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Hard hitters — a thin stick breaks faster under heavy volume
- Players who prefer a slick, uncoated stick surface
- Anyone wanting the brighter, more consistent ping of a nylon tip
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Super (extended) length
Longer than a standard 7A. More reach and leverage, and the balance shifts slightly toward the tip.
Detail 03
Maple
The lightest of the common stick woods. Quick response and low fatigue, but it dents and breaks sooner than hickory.
Detail 04
Wood tip
Warmer, darker cymbal tone than nylon. The tip wears with use, which gradually changes the sound.
Detail 05
DIP grip coating
Textured finish over the grip area. Holds on to sweaty hands; some players find it slows stick tricks and finger control.

- 01Sold as a single pair — buy spares if you play regularly

- 03Grip coating changes the feel — try it before committing to a bulk order
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between 7A and 5A?
7A is thinner and lighter. It plays faster and quieter, and it breaks sooner. 5A is the common all-purpose size.
02Does the green coating come off?
The DIP finish wears through the grip area with heavy use, like any stick coating. It does not affect the tip or playing end.
03Are these good for beginners?
They work, but the thin maple shaft breaks easily while a new player is still developing control. A hickory 5A lasts longer.
04Wood tip or nylon tip?
Wood gives a warmer, softer cymbal sound and wears down over time. Nylon is brighter and more consistent but sounds harder.
