Product Feature

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.

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2024
Style: 5AVerified Purchase
I just recently started learning to play the drums and have been trying out a bunch of different sticks to find just the right ones for me. I have smaller hands so I feel more comfortable with something lightweight. Thus far, these Vic Firth 5A sticks are the best I've come across. They are lightweight and easy to hold, and are reasonably durable (though any sticks will get eaten up over time by your hi hat). I haven't had any problems with grip or the sticks splitting either. I absolutely will buy these again!

Reviewed in Canada on February 13, 2024

J'ai acheté ces baguettes pour ma batterie électronique à la place d'utiliser des baguettes sans bouts de teflon.
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.
