Best sticks I've played

Jizus, 16.09.2020

These particular sticks feel incredibly balanced and consistent (across different pairs), especially compared to other brands I have tried.
In terms of durability, they are as durable as a wooden stick can be. I especially notice, though, that their tips tend to chip quite quickly, but overall the comfort I receive from these sticks outweighs the cons.

All in all, amazing sticks at an awesome price here, compared to the price in local shops for me.

The "default" drumstick

Ike, 30.10.2014

To me, the Vic Firth 5A American Classics are the standard of drumsticks. These are well-balanced, well-matched, great sounding drumsticks. As a drummer of small stature with hands that are on the small size, I find these sticks to be of just the right size, both in length and diameter, and weight for general playing. The bead of the stick also gives a good, clear sound on the cymbals. For slower, heavier songs I prefer a 5B or other bigger model, but for faster stuff and for lighter playing that requires less volume, these are great.

On the negative side, I find that while these sticks hold up well even under fairly heavy playing with constant rimshot backbeats, they're not as durable as e.g. Pro-Mark's equivalent 5A model (though I've never had a Vic 5A snap on me within minutes of starting playing, as has happened with some other sticks). The wood tips also have a tendency to chip, so they may not be intact at the end of a 50-minute set.

Comfortable abd durable

AA, 12.04.2018

These sticks are really durable compared to any other sticks ive tried across many different brands. 1 set can last me up to a year, which is particularly impressive compared to alternative sets of drumsticks. I also particularly like the weight and grip comfort of these sticks, more so than my last Nova sticks.
