Vic Firth 5B American Classic Hickory Reviews

Top quality

Always top quality. Great feel.

Vic Firth - brand for quality

Really great sticks. I stick to mainly these now.

Not too light, not too heavy.

I love the teardrop-shaped tips as they are a little bit longer than the usual round tip. That allows greater variation of sound when hitting cymbals as You can hit them with the end of the tip to create a sharper sound or (the best way in my opinion) hit them flat with the whole side of the tip to create a warmer tone.

It's easy to play silently as well as loudly with force, kind of a hybrid if You ask me.

Good if the music You play is dynamic.

Classic stick

I've moved up in size to these from 55a's and 747's.

Good solid stick and great volume.

The heads on these sticks deteriorate quicker than other sticks i've had however on the down side.

Good sticks

Easy to use, very versatile, good quality, balanced drum sticks... Good for concerts, studio, practicing... I recomend this drum sticks...

Excellent drumsticks.

These are excellent drumsticks. They are consistent in tone, weight and quality.

I especially like the balance and the tone from the teardrop tips.

feel great.

as a vic firth player since a child, i've alway loved them. 5b for quieter shows, 2b for heavy. this stick are always well balanced and feel great. nice tip gives crisp cymbal tone. weight is always just right. never had a bad one.

Fat sticks!

Nice sticks if you want a slightly bigger/heavier stick than the standard 5A, also ever so slightly longer than the 5As so the balance is still phenomenal. Used for recording and live performances for a "Phatter" sound

stable quality

after years of playing Vic Firth, the quality is stable as always. if my first sticks weren't grind to death, I bet you couldn't tell the difference to actual ones.

You can trust in Vic Firth

Ive used many brands of sticks in my playing career of 30+ years but now only use Vic Firths as they are the only ones that seem to endure my heavier style of playing and they also have the perfect weight and balance for what I need.Ive also yet to come across any warped or misshapen ones -s omething you won't find with cheaper sticks.

The standard

I'm very contented with the Vic Firth 5B drum sticks. They are well balanced and not too heavy. I use them for playing rock and funk music, but they work for all kind.

The material is tough. So don't be afraid of crashing your 22' ride. It works ;-)

Drum sticks

I just use them with my practice pad and very seldom on a real drumkit so I can't tell you much about their longevity but I like them. Handling is great quality is great and the price is good.
