Zildjian STOKTH Taylor Hawkins signature drum sticks

General

If someone mentions Zildjian, most people will automatically think of cymbals. However, Zildjian has become a big name in drum sticks as well and the company makes sure that their sticks live up to the same high standards they set for their cymbals. Many famous artists proudly endorse these sticks and there are many different shapes and sizes, so there should be a perfect Zildjian stick for everyone!

One of these notable artists is Taylor Hawkins. He is probably best known as the drummer for Foo Fighters. Now being the drummer in a band that has Dave Grohl (an outstanding drummer in his own right) in it may seem like a daunting task, but Taylor has risen to the challenge. He enriches every Foos record with his own personal style and even finds a way to display his vocal talents - mostly singing backing vocals, but occasionally he gets to sing the lead. Besides Foo Fighters, Taylor has been the drummer for Alanis Morissette and started his own bands, such as Taylor Hawkins and the Coattail Riders, Chevy Metal and The Birds of Satan.

These Artist Series drum sticks have been created to suit Hawkins' personal preferences. They are reminiscent of 5B sticks, however they feature a large, round tip for full tones and great projection. They also have the hawk artwork on them that reflects Taylor's hawk tattoo. These unique sticks are made of American hickory, which gives them great durability, making them perfect for use in heavier rock music.
