When the musical setting calls for a lower volume than drumsticks, but more definition and articulation than is possible with traditional brushes, Zildjian's new Mezzo series is the perfect solution. Both Mezzo models feature multiple high-quality birch dowels that deliver a clear, crisp attack on the drumhead or cymbal, but will not overpower accompanying acoustic instrumentation. Birch is used for durability and both models feature an adjustable o-ring that lets the player control the dowels' spread to customize the sound.

Mezzo 1 - Seven dowels surround a larger center dowel, producing a bright, focused tone with a very cohesive feel.

Mezzo 2 - A grouping of 19 smaller dowels produces a more delicate, wider sound, with a softer feel, perfect for small-club acoustic settings.

Both models feature vibrant orange handles and sealed end caps with a handle diameter of .600".
