Vic Firth American Concept Freestyle 55A

Product Description

The Vic Firth FS55A American Concept Freestyle 55A is an extra-long drumstick with an exaggerated taper, inspired by freestyle longboarding. The extended taper more than doubles the area where you can place your fulcrum, opening up a huge range of feels and responses from a single pair. It's become a favorite among drummers worldwide.

• 17" overall length for extended reach
• Extra-long taper for a wide fulcrum area
• Hybrid wood tip for a slightly different attack and tone
• American hickory for tone, durability, and vibration absorption
• Sold per pair

Feel and Balance

The long taper combined with the extra length lets you shift your grip and fulcrum along the stick without losing control – much like a freestyle rider moving freely across their longboard. That means you can explore different rebound feels and tonal responses depending on where you hold the stick, instead of being locked into one fixed grip position.

Construction

The sticks are made from carefully selected American hickory, the most common drumstick wood thanks to its tone, durability, and ability to absorb vibration. The tip is a wood tip of the Hybrid type, giving a slightly different character than a classic round wood tip.

Who It's For

Great for drummers who want to experiment with grip placement and feel, or who simply want to try an unusually long stick with extended reach.
