Vic Firth American Classic 5A Drumsticks

The Vic Firth 5A is the best-selling drumstick on the planet, and that reputation is well earned. It strikes the ideal balance between weight, length, and diameter -- light enough for jazz and acoustic work, substantial enough for rock and pop. The teardrop wood tip produces warm, full cymbal tones, and the premium American hickory provides consistent feel and excellent durability.

Whether you're a beginner picking out your first pair or a touring pro who's played thousands of gigs, the 5A just works. It's the benchmark that every other drumstick is measured against, and the one most drummers come back to eventually. If you're unsure what size to try, start here.
