Vic Firth American Classic 5A Drumsticks, Black Finish

Same legendary American Classic 5A that drummers worldwide rely on, now with a sleek black lacquer finish. The dimensions, weight, balance, and teardrop tip are identical to the standard 5A -- this is purely a visual upgrade for players who want their sticks to look as sharp as they sound under stage lights.

The black finish adds a subtle bit of grip texture compared to the natural lacquer, which some players actually prefer. Premium American hickory construction means you're getting the same quality and consistency Vic Firth is known for. If you already love the 5A and want to add some visual flair to your setup, the 5AB delivers without any compromise in performance.
