Vic Firth 5A Extreme American Classic

Product Description

The Vic Firth X5A, 5A Extreme, is a variation on the classic 5A stick from the American Classic series. It shares the same idea as the original – a full, powerful sound – but is made longer and slightly thicker, giving extra reach and more punch in the stroke without feeling bulky in the hand.

The stick is made from hickory, a wood that holds up well under hard playing while still giving good rebound and a warm tone. It has a wood tip, which produces a fuller, softer attack on heads and cymbals compared to a nylon tip – a good choice if you want a round, natural sound without too much brightness on top.

At 16 1/2" (419 mm) long with a 0.551" (14 mm) diameter, the X5A is a solid option if a standard 5A feels a bit short or thin, while still keeping the weight and grip feel that the 5A family is known for. Suits players who go from steady grooves to powerful fills and need a stick that can handle long sets.

Vic Firth is one of the world's largest drumstick manufacturers, with almost 40 years in the business and a strong reputation for consistent quality under the slogan "the perfect pair."
