American Classic 5A Drumsticks
Great all-around size and weight for any musical situation. Tear drop tip for rich cymbal sounds. Crafted from premium USA Hickory.
TRADITION AND VIC FIRTH STYLE
The American Classic line combines tradition and Vic Firth style. With bold designs, the Classics are turned from select hickory — a dense wood with little flex for a more pronounced sound. Hickory is also capable of withstanding a great deal of shock, making it highly durable. The tips are deeply back-cut for intensified cymbal response.

Le rebondissement sur les tambours est meilleur qu'avec les baguettes sans abouts.
J'utilisais auparavant des Vic Firth 5 A.
À part l'embout de teflon, je ne vois pas de différence entre la 5A et les 5 ANS, tel que désirée.
