Vic Firth 7AR Nova Hickory Red Wood Reviews

Lightweight

Very beautiful. Be prepared to have the snare with red stains!

Uninspiring

Pretty uninspiring, they just feel like any old cheap sticks.

The colouring has marked my cymbals and stains my hands when I play!

Honestly, I won't be buying them again.

red paint is everywhere

Good sticks but they paint everything.

My first choice for drumsticks. Besides having a really cool colour, they're cheap and a really good value for money.

Good performance

good sensitivity to the touch in the box giving a good sound not losing quality, I am beginner but much prefer this stick .

Great value drumsticks

These drumsticks are just what you would expect from Vic Firth - durable, impeccably matched and comfortable to play with. The wood tip also lasted for a surprisingly long time, which is usually the main problem when you don't use the nylon tip drumstick.

The main reason that these sticks didn't get the highest mark from me is that the color does come off when you play, leaving small red stripes on the cymbals and the drum heads.

So I would recommend using these Red drumsticks less frequently, e.g. when you need to add some class to your playing - at a concert, etc. :)
