Vic Firth American Classic Hickory Drumsticks

Share

The Vic Firth 5A's are the most versatile sticks IÆve ever played on. I regularly use these for jazz (piano trio and quartet), for which they have a gorgeous cymbal sound and enough body to kick up some volume when I need too as well as praise and worship services where I'm competing with electric bass, guitars, and piano. I've played about every brand of stick on the market and these are the best!

I bought a pair of Nylon 5B's and for some reason they broke (split down the middle) within 2 weeks. I am a hard player however I have never had a pair break this easily. I'll be going back to ProMark

I think they name these sticks "classics" because they will last so long without breaking they will be the oldest sticks in your bag!!! I always have two pairs of these in my bag. By the time the oldest ones break (1-2 years) I have gone through countless sets of Zildjian sticks. I have a pair of 5bn's that are so old I think I will retire them! I also recommend the RockN for a little extra reach for the rockers out there! The best 7 bucks you will ever spend!

Vic's are the only sticks I have ever had that they were the same pitch. These feel great in my hands.

I used these the other day for a jazz performance, and I loved them, great sound, not too loud, amazing definition on the cymbals, only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I can't honestly say how well they'll work in the long run, but I still have to say my choice for jazz.
