Drummerk Zildjian presenteert vol trots de compleet nieuwe redesigned Matt Sorum Artist Series Drumsticks. De populaire rockddrummer voor The Cult, Guns n' Roses en tegenwoordig Velvet Revolver, werkte nauw samen met Zildjian om zijn veelgebruikte signature serie drumsticks nog verder te verbeteren.
"I've just started getting into playing in the Super 5B range, which has smaller dimensions than my old stick. But the Super 5B is a little light for what I do. So I thought we could change my stick to be a little bit heavier than the Super 5B. I'm digging it; it's beautiful! My sticks are always well balanced. I always have about 20 sticks in my bag, and sometimes I'll pick up a new pair to play just because I want a fresh pair. And when I do they always feel the same; the balance is really good. They're very consistent and that's important for a drumstick."
De 'Matt Sorum Artist Series Drumstick' zoals de stokken officieel heten, worden gemaakt in de Verenigde Staten waar Zildjian sinds 1989 al z'n drumsticks fabriceert.
