Vic Firth 5AN American Classic Hickory Reviews

ic Firth 5AN American Classic Hickory

You can pay a lot more and get a name or logo and a pretty paint job on your sticks (believe me I have) but these are the best feeling sticks I have ever used. They have a heavy feel so you get a good pop. They are also consistent in that when you purchase them a year later you will get the exact thing you ordered before. I use 5AN and they are great.

Vic Firth 5A. The perfect pair!

After using many different makes & models of sticks over the years for different types of music and gigs etc, I have found the perfect pair of sticks that I can use whether I'm playing in a jazz trio, big band or rock band. Perfect all rounder. I am going to 'stick' to these from now on!

Most popular size for speed, comfort and power!

The title says it all, basically. The 5A size (and 5B) sizes are the most popular sizes for drumsticks because they are comfortable (not too heavy) but not too light either. They provide the perfect balance for speed and power.

The nylon tip also provides the brighter sound, especially on cymbals, when compared to wood tips which give a warmer sound.

Also, the tear drop shape of the tip is the 'best of both worlds' when it comes to surface area. The pointy tip provides articulated sounds on cymbals and the rest of the tip's larger surface area provides full tone.

Personally, I tried the other version of these drumsticks with the anti-slip coating but it felt a little sticky. That is not to say that it's a bad thing. Maybe it's best for drummers who play with gloves instead of bare hands.

I prefer this type without the anti-slip coating.

Great service! A1

Great sticks at a value for money price. As good as in the shops but with A1 service!

Vic Firth 5AN American Classic Drum Sticks.

I've Been Using These Sticks For About 7 Years And Love Their Balance And Feel, The Nylon Tip Is Very Durable With Great Attack On Drums And Cymbals Compered To Wooden Tips Which Splinter And Become Dull After A While.
