5AN American Classic Hickory : Classic feel with a great articulation

4 years ago

Vic Firth as usual provides a great quality stick. The 5A size is a proven classic that has been used for decades. Having tried almost every stick on the market I tend to come back to this one.

I switch between a wooden tip 5a and a nylon tip 5a. Nylon is great in a jazz context where I need a very articulate ride cymbal sound. This stick can help to achieve that with thinner cymbals for example.

Another benefit of nylon is that the stick will last literally forever because tip usually breaks first reducing the stick sound.
