Zildjian Artist Series Ringo Starr Drumsticks

Developed in collaboration with Ringo Starr, these Artist Series drumsticks deliver a familiar 5A-style feel with a few signature touches that make them uniquely his. Built from U.S. select hickory and finished with Zildjian's distinctive purple DIP coating, they offer a comfortable grip, balanced response, and classic look inspired by one of the most influential drummers in music history.

Whether you're playing classic rock, pop, worship, studio sessions, or everyday practice, the Ringo Starr model provides the versatility many drummers look for in an all-purpose stick. Its balanced dimensions feel immediately comfortable for a wide range of players and musical situations.

Designed for Everyday Playing

Ringo worked with Zildjian to create a stick that feels natural across the entire kit. The elongated oval wood tip produces a broad, musical sound on drums and cymbals, while the long taper helps maintain a responsive feel and smooth rebound. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
