Vic Firth VFX5A Extreme 5A -Wood- Reviews

Brilliant sticks

Perfectly balanced sticks, great for various styles of music

probably best sticks i have ever used. Just love it.

best sticks ever

the extra length makes it a heavier than normal 5A stick. ideal for me

It took me a couple years to find the perfect stick for me, finally found these. Super well balanced stick, the added length is perfect for me. If you like a forward balanced stick try these out.

Great!

They're a little bit longer than a standart 5A, giving you more punchy and powerful hits! Great for metal.

The extra length happened to be extra useful

Loved the same ol' Vic Firth but with a twist. Personally, I've loved those extra cm as It felt extra comfy in my hands, providing also control over the drumsticks.

The sticks for me

As expected of any Vic Firth stick, the 5A Extremes are great. They are especially good because of the extra length. I'm generally a smaller person and I chose them for this reason. I also came to find that they have a perfect balance between the length and the weight.

I generally only play rim shots on the snare, except for the ghost notes, and I tend to break a stick at around the 2-3 month mark, which I think is good, considering that I play almost every day.

Was looking for a longer 5A for more range and weight.

This feels really good, the 3 stars are due to the fact that it did not last as long as most of my Vic Firths, not great quality, or maybe a bad batch. I will order more and see.

My take

I bought a pair of these with an heavier set of drumsticks so I could develop my hand technique and power. These are absolute marvelous drumsticks and super maneuverable, and still feel very compact and resistent.

Reliable sticks

Very comfortable to play, our drummer is happy!

Its good but not my style. I prefer something heavy like the Dany Carey signature sticks

Sticks

Good weight and length, classic vf quality

Satisfied

Good quality sticks as you would expect from Vic Firth

Fantastic stick

Love the 5A Extreme! All around a really good stick. Fits everything!

my fav stick

if you want some of that good ol'leverage that extra length of the sticks gives you, this is great. I am a rather tall guy (195cm) and prefer the longest possible sticks when I play. These are a golden standard for me.

Perfect Sticks

Been playing for 10 years now, and only last year did I discover this Vic Firth. They fit perfectly my needs. Having that extra length is just that optimal stretch that I needed.

Feels very comfortable, can play with them for hours.

I play heavy metal and the last pair the broke lasted me about 6 months with daily rehearsals and at least 1 or 2 gigs per month.

Recommend

I love these sticks!

I've been playing with them for a while now and they just fit perfectly! I love how light yet strong they are and that you get that little extra playing range. Suitable for all playing styles and would definitely recommend!

Strong sticks

sticks are very strong, worth to buy and proper for any music style. I would certainly recommended them.

Good drumsticks

Long grip, great balance. You can't go wrong using these.

My choice for years

There is no better company for me!Extreme 5A my personal choice!
