Vic Firth American Classic Extreme 55A Drumsticks, Wood Tip

The Extreme 55A takes the familiar 5A profile and stretches it by about half an inch, giving you extra reach and leverage behind the kit. That added length translates to more power and throw on every stroke without making the stick feel clunky or unwieldy. The diameter stays in 5A territory, so it still feels nimble in your hands while delivering a bigger sound than a standard 5A.

This is a fantastic option for drummers who like the 5A balance but want a bit more authority -- rock players, hard-hitting pop drummers, or anyone who feels like they're working too hard to get volume out of a regular 5A. Premium American hickory with a wood tip for warm, natural cymbal tone. A subtle upgrade that makes a noticeable difference.
