These are Zildjian 5B hickory sticks with an acorn shaped wood tip. The 5B gives you a little more wood in your hand than a 5A, which helps with power and with rock playing where you want the stick to do some of the work.

The acorn tip has a bit more surface than a teardrop, so it pulls a fuller, broader sound out of rides and crashes. This model is a closeout, so once these are gone we will not be getting more.
