Vic Firth American Classic 5AB - Black
Product Description
The 5A is the best-selling drumstick model in the world, and it's easy to see why. It works for just about any playing situation – rehearsal room, stage or studio – thanks to a diameter and weight that feel balanced in the hand without being heavy. This version comes in a striking black painted finish for players who want a bit more attitude on their stick bag.
The stick is turned from select American hickory, a wood prized for its combination of tone, durability and vibration absorption, making it the standard choice for drumstick making. The tip is a classic Tear Drop shape in wood, deeply back-cut for intensified cymbal response, so you get a clearer, richer attack on your rides and hats. The taper is medium, giving it that great all-around feel.
The 5AB belongs to Vic Firth's American Classic line – their collection of traditional, classic stick models turned from carefully selected hickory and checked to meet the highest international quality standards. Vic Firth, founded by Everett "Vic" Firth in 1963, has been regarded as one of the most trusted names among drummers and percussionists ever since.
A solid choice if you want a dependable all-around stick that suits most musical styles, with a bit of extra visual edge. Sold per pair.
