Vic Firth 5AR Nova Hickory Red Wood Tip 5-stars Reviews

Good sticks

Very good sticks, easy to play at fast tempos, feels perfect in hands. Good material.

feels good.

The faded wood finish feels good!

Great value!

These are the only sticks I use at the moment, for both practicing and concerts. I can use them easily for all of the styles I play. I don't hit too hard but I'm not a soft hitter either.

Pros:

- Each stick lasts at least a month, if not longer for me.

- Very good price (almost half the price of what you would get in a store)

- Nice colour.

Cons:

- Cymbals and toms now have red spots on them, but that is probably to be expected with coloured sticks.

- I've had a single occurence of the olive breaking off the stick or snapping in half.

Beginners Sticks????

Not sure why these NOVAs are called beginners sticks, I found them to be of really high quality. Like all Vic Firths, they have great smooth feel and are well balanced as a pair.

Bought them for myself but after seeing me play with them, my 7-year old son nagged them off me. His favourite colour is red after all!!

Would definitely buy these again.
