Vic Firth Classic 55A

The diameter of the 55A is what interested me. They feel just right since they're between a 5A and a 5B diameter. I used Vic Firth Modern Jazz 1 sticks for quite sometime but these sticks are now my go-to. The teardrop tips really get more articulation on the cymbals and the 16" length can still move around the kit quickly. There is a medium taper for good rebound and snare rimshots. These sticks handle the most diverse of music genres and are sturdy.

All time favorite. But they break easy

Love love love these sticks. Top 3 easily. They just break so easily! I had a pair of 5b's last a month. Granted they are very different sticks. These are great just don't last long.
