7ANR Nova Hickory Nylon Red : Usual Vic quality but a little slippy

I decided to try these sticks as I am a fan of Vic Firth (American Classics all the way) and wanted to test out nylon for some songs we do. Saw these a cheaper alternative.

The stick is made with the usual quality of Vic Firth and feels balanced and light in the hand. The nylon tip gives a great sound on the cymbals but lacks a little on the drums but that is to be expected from nylon tip sticks.

The colour may attract drummers looking for something different but the paint coating makes the stick a little slippy and don't feel quite as solid in the hand as my usual choice.

They still make a nice addition for certain drum styles but will need stick tape or gloves before you can be assured you won't see them fly away mid song.
