Vic Firth 5B American Classic Hickory 5-stars Reviews

Great feeling drumsticks

These should be right up your alley for rock and heavier styles; I went from 5A to these and never looked back, very assertive sounding indeed.

good for starters

I bought them to learn and they seem to be quite good.

Always Reliable.

Really easy company to deal with. The best multi-buy deals and always despatched promptly. Highly recommended.

Perfect

I had got three different sizes to try 2B, 5A

and 5B. And 5B is perfect size and weight to play comfortably for longer period without compromising with the quality of sound produced.

Perfect

Great sticks for rock.

Really good sticks

Not sure what else to say about it, it's a pretty standard stick, nothing to complain about.

Fav Sticks

These are my favourite sticks for playing heavier music. They can really pack a punch and yet they're not too thick. If you take care of them, they can last very long.

Would recommend this to heavy drummers

PERFECT

You cant go wrong with these Vic Firths sticks.

For me they are the absolute classic to go for.

They last long, have a great feel/grip to them and have an absolute amazing sound.

just good as Vic firth is

The benchmark...

I'm just a new drummer... and as so, have tried a bunch of different sticks; sizes, woods, weights... I ALWAYS come back to these... in a blind test, these won HANDS DOWN... and my drum teacher also said, simply "can't go wrong with VIC FIRST 5Bs"

Top notch quality

What's not to like about these drumstricks? These are very very durable, I never break one they just go frail over time so I have to replace them.

The wood is definitely top-notch quality in comparison to some other, cheaper, drumsticks.

Great drumsticks

These feel well-balanced in my hands i'll be getting more when the need presents itself.

I prefer wooden tip over nylon at least you don't have to worry about the tips flying off unless you break em' real good. I recommend these for the drummer out there.

Very durable, and a great sound

I've recently moved up to 2B sticks, but they are still Vic Firth American Classics. They might be a bit more pricey than other sticks, but sticks that cost half as much (the Vic Firth Nova range, for example) won't last half as long as these will. Also keep in mind you get a worse sound from sticks that are very worn down.

Best sticks!

It has been sometime that I was looking at the perfect sticks and here I am, Vic Firth 5B is the pair for me. Great sticks, durable and perfectly matched!

Great Sticks

I have played with many different sticks and these are my favourite and most comfortable to use. Good quality at a good price, would recomend

Best drum sticks ever

Perfect balance, very comfortable weight, amazing filings in the palms when playing

vic firth have always sold quality sticks and these are the best i have ever played. very durable and feel great while playing.

Just what the drummers ordered!

As music director for a church we have 5 drummers that needed sticks and all love 5b VF.

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.
