Zildjian Limited Edition 400th Anniversary Alchemy 5A Drumsticks

The Zildjian Limited Edition 400th Anniversary Alchemy 5A Acorn Purple Drumsticks (Z5AACP-400) are composed of select hickory wood and feature an acorn wood tip, painted purple finish, 16.25” length, 5A diameter, and Zildjian 400th Anniversary logo with Alchemy design. This design celebrates the origin of the secret family alloy. In 1618, Avedis I, an Armenian alchemist living in Constantinople, discovered a secret process for treating alloys and applied it to the art of making cymbals of extraordinary clarity and sustain. This proprietary mix of copper, tin and silver is still used in Zildjian cymbals today. The alchemy symbols used in the design represent each of the metals in this secret alloy, arranged in the shape of a cymbal.
