Zildjian Artist Series — Evgeny Novikov Signature Drumsticks
Built for blast beats. Tuned for precision.
Designed with Slaughter to Prevail’s Evgeny Novikov, these sticks deliver ruthless power without losing cymbal definition—bright ride ping, lethal bell articulation, and rimshots that cut through the wall of guitars.
Control meets carnage.
