Zildjian Artist Series Drumsticks, Thomas Pridgen

Longtime Zildjian artist Thomas Pridgen — the beatkeeper behind The Mars Volta's most frenetically short-fused album, Bedlam in Goliath — trusts his tone and technique to Zildjian drumsticks. Thomas's signature ZASTP sticks are made from weight-matched select hickory and feature some unique personalizations. Hybrid .590" grips — sized between a Zildjian 5A and 5B — sit comfortably in the hands while offering plenty of stick to choke up on for power. The Zildjian ZASTPs also feature slightly extended lengths (16.13") and super-short tapers to keep weight and power out toward the end of the stick. Thomas's choice of wood oval tips give the ZASTPs a dynamic, versatile sound on cymbals while supplying plenty of control for rudiments and windmills around the kit. Other personalizations include a grip-enhancing lacquer finish and Thomas's own cartoon caricature logo. If you're looking for a stick that can give you that aggressive front-heavy Thomas Pridgen sound without weighing you down, look no further than the Zildjian ZASTP Thomas Pridgen signature drumsticks from Zoso Music.
