This limited-edition Zildjian 400th Anniversary nylon dip Classical drum sticks feature a design celebrating the entry of Zildjian cymbals into popular music. During the mid-to-late nineteenth century, composers such as Berlioz and Wagner began featuring an abundance of cymbals in their compositions and requested that only Zildjian cymbals be used. It was during this time that cymbals achieved an important and permanent position in orchestras. Inspired by a Turkish tapestry from the same era, the silhouetted illustrations of orchestral percussionists on these sticks celebrate this milestone.
