Perfect sticks!!

Love these sticks. I used to use 5b and pulse which no longer makes drum sticks or at least I can't find them anywhere. I switched to vic firths and Ill never use another stick. The feel the weight the durability, amazing. There's a reason why they're are pricey. They're well made and Well worth the price.

My favorite sticks

I have tried many sticks even expensive ahead sticks but nothing amount to the feel of classic Vic firth 5as there so strong and versatile
by Sweetwater Customer on

A classic.

Probably the most versatile stick out there. Nice articulate tip, a taper that balances rebound and power, and a shaft that should feel comfortable in most hands. A jack of all trades that will work in all but the most niche musical settings. I think of it as the baseline stick. I may prefer something with a longer taper when I'm feeling jazzy, or something with more power when I need to rock, but I can always depend on a 5A. The maple version is great if you have a lighter touch.
