Description
Vic Firth's American Classic 5A drum sticks are now available in a special 4-pair pack. Trusted by professionals worldwide for their durability, balance and tone, these hickory sticks produce rich articulation and full-bodied sound. The teardrop tip offers crisp cymbal definition while the medium taper transmits energy for commanding volume and speed. Whether performing on stage, recording in the studio, or practicing at home, drummers at every level will appreciate the consistent quality and performance of these sticks.
Bold Design and Select Hickory for Tonal Clarity
Turned from high-quality hickory, the American Classic 5A sticks provide warm, resonant tone and lasting durability. The hickory wood transmits vibrations efficiently for articulate expression and dynamic control. The bold, acorn-shaped tip cuts through for clear cymbal articulation and definition.
Perfectly Balanced for Power and Control
With a medium taper and 0.565" diameter, these sticks offer an ideal balance of power and finesse. The taper focuses energy for commanding volume and speed while remaining light enough for dexterous stick work. The result is a highly responsive stick that transmits both subtlety and strength.
Consistent Quality Across the Kit
Each stick in this 4-pair pack is weight-matched and pitch-paired using Vic Firth's precision manufacturing techniques. This ensures uniform feel and sound for consistent performance. Whether playing a single stroke roll, paradiddle or drum fill, drummers can count on precision balance and tone.
Stylish and Practical
The bold black finish gives an iconic look on stage or in photos and videos. The lacquer coating also provides protection from moisture and wear. This special pack offers an exceptional value for stocking up on high-performance drum sticks.

I play both acoustic and electronic drums with variety of head types. These are a great all around stick. Sturdy, yet not to heavy. Allows me to play hard and soft, handles rim shots well.
Vic Firth sticks seem to be of good quality.

These drumsticks seem to be of good quality, but me only being a novice drummer, I've yet to put them to a really hardcore test, that will come later once I get more experience with my drum rhythms
I would buy again

I loved everything about the product the sticks were perfect and they are very sturdy for playing and as of about a month with the sticks none of them have broken yet only heavy scrapes but no peices of wood breaking off that would affect the actual playing.
I will buy again

I use these mainly for church service and concerts. Improved my sound even with a bad kit. I recommend these for all play styles.
