Vic Firth 85A American Classic Hickory 5-stars Reviews

its a vic firth

It will depend on your taste whether if u like it or not. But u cant argue quality. These are awesome sticks

All-round

Works for everything. I love this model, as they are light but also long. Have played many different gigs with these and always satisfied.

AMAZING STICKS

I used my drumsticks to play the drums.

The stick is very durable and good in handling. It is very simple to find the optimal rebounce point in the stick (Which is between the flag and the letters). The sticks are very durable.

Cons? Well not that I found.

Pleasing feel sticks

Vic firth sticks are feel good sticks to me. a weight matched pair in an exacting range. This 85A is just a shade slimmer than your 5A.

Now I don`t slice up my sticks like I used to ,on cymbals, I expect this pair to last an age. They are top quality.

for me, perfect.

Like i said: for me, perfect. Between 7a and 5a.. Very well made, nice balance. Great drumsticks.

A Lighter 5A

A perfect pair for me when I need to play just a tad lighter than with 5A. I tend to like lighter sticks anyway so I started using it even in situations where I normally used 5A, like regular rock or blues gigs.

No need to comment on the quality of the wood itself, it's classic Vic Firth.

My perfect pair

I adore this sticks. The design is perfect and these sticks can be used in ANY musical situation from jazz to metal.

The only thing seems to be that when you buy 5 pairs or more some of them are lighter than others. The Vic Firth should work on their consistency because this is such an amazing pair of sticks.

I recommend them to everyone, especially if you are looking for something with a bit lighter feel than regular 5a
