Zildjian Anti-Vibe Hickory Drumsticks
Zildjian Anti Vibe Drum Sticks

Effectively reduces key vibrations
Developed in conjunction with noted vibration authority, Sims Anti-Vibration Technologies, Zildjian Anti-Vibe Drumsticks contain a patented feature that effectively reduces key vibrations. By reducing the amount of vibration present in the struck stick, the Anti-Vibe drumstick is easier to play and more comfortable for many players, than standard sticks. The stick maintains it's conventional lacquer finish and appearance, while the vibration absorption technology is contained out of the way, inside the butt-end of the stick.

Great for use on rubber pads
Anti-Vibe is great for use on rubber electronic drum pads and practice pads due to the vibration caused by these impact surfaces. Overall, the stick feels like you are hitting its sweet spot on every stroke.

I love them and they really kill any vibration especially when doing 16s on your ride. Don't play them backward. The drilled out center where the damper is set does not take a beating. The edge cracked on both of mine and the damper fell out. I just glued them back in and all is well.

There isn't a huge difference between these sticks and the regular Zildjian hickory drumsticks. They do help a little by not vibrating as much. If you play on an electronic drumset and you don't already have a pair of Zildjian, then get this pair.

These sticks really do help your hands a lot. When playing hard on the bell of a ride, or particularly on rimshots, they make your hands feel great.The one problem I found, however, is that the rubber core came out of one of the sticks. And I didn't hit it with the butt end, either. It may have something to do with the fact that they were outside in my car for about a day, then I went into the hot garage and started playing. But like others said, I just glued it back in and it's held up so far.
