Vic Firth American Classic Drumsticks - 5A - Nylon Tip

The Vic Firth 5A Nylon is the nylon-tipped version of the best-selling drumstick in the world. Same select hickory, same 16" length and .565" diameter, same medium taper—but with a nylon tear drop tip that adds crystal clarity on cymbals and outlasts wood tips significantly. It's the go-to stick for players who want the classic 5A feel with brighter, more defined cymbal articulation.

Suitable for virtually every style of music, from jazz and pop to rock and marching band. The nylon tip is especially useful in recording situations where cymbal clarity is critical in the mix. If you already love the 5A but want a bit more sparkle and shimmer from your cymbals, the nylon tip version is the natural next step. Sold as a pair.
