Vic Firth American Jazz AJ5

Product Description

The Vic Firth AJ5 American Jazz is the thinnest stick in the entire Vic Firth lineup, built for players chasing ultimate rebound on drums and cymbals. Despite its slim diameter, the long taper in the shaft gives it a comfortable feel, and the small tear drop tip keeps every cymbal hit clear and focused.

• Incredibly thin and lightweight for effortless playing
• Longer taper adds balance and feel
• Small tear drop tip in wood for a focused, clear cymbal attack
• Made from quality-controlled hickory

Feel and Response

The long taper lets the shaft flex more on impact, giving a fast, springy rebound without feeling unstable. The neck specifications are still sizable enough to pull dark tones out of your cymbals when needed. The small tip keeps articulation tight and precise on ride and hi-hat.

About the American Jazz Series

The AJ5 is part of Vic Firth's American Jazz line, hickory sticks built with an unusually long taper for fast rebound and a small tear drop tip for clear cymbal definition. Sticks in this series are made from top-grade hickory and carefully quality-controlled to a consistent international standard.

Who It's For

A great fit for jazz players and smaller setups, or anywhere a light, thin stick with quick rebound is preferable to a heavier model.
