Vic Firth American Classic® Extreme 5A

I have tried all kinds of makes and models and I have ended up with these. It is the perfect stick in every way. The size, the length, the weight, the balance. Do yourself a favor and get the EXTREME 5As by Vic Firth. There’s nothing out there like it. Trust me. Hope they never stop making these.

The description says "for the 5A player who wants a bit more power and reach". This is absolutely the best way to describe it. I always tend to use heavier sticks because I like getting that extra half-inch reach. But in practice settings, 5Bs or "rock" sticks are just a bit too much for me. Plus I've always preferred the lighter sticks. Granted, stick size is all about personal preference. So as far as quality goes, these things hold up! The sticks are well matched, nice quality, and resistant to breaking. I have yet to break one of these sticks lengthwise (I always wear out the tips and taper before the stick ever breaks). I will continue to use these sticks for a long time to come! Highly recommend.

Best company I’ve purchased sticks from 🙌🏾 will buy again

Yes absolutely it did

I've own these for a while (6 months) and I'm still beating them up. Swing, Bebop, straight jazz.. I only had to sand them when I let this guy play on them.. *I sand sticks for the feel.. basically I don't want splinters everytime I switch grips or have to do snare knocks.. :) Great sticks man, gave me that extra weight and length I needed.

Slightly longer length, entire stick is coated as well. Holding up so far!

I like the feel of these sticks. They are a classic 5A with a little bit extra reach. This means a little more weight and extra leverage. I prefer these over 5Bs as the 5Bs can be a little too heavy and thick. I find 5As to be a little light, while these feel just right. I have had one break quickly the first time I've played it. I can't say I was happy about that, however another pair I've played have lasted much longer. Because of the stick breaking, I've rated these sticks 4 out of 5 stars.

The normal Vic Firth set would have been better for me. I don't have a drum kit.

Ich wollte mit dem Trommeln anfangen, aber nicht direkt ein richtiges Schlagzeug kaufen, bevor ich überhaupt weiß, ob ich wirklich dabei bleibe. Nach etwas Recherche habe ich gesehen, dass man für den Anfang gut mit einem Practice Pad und Drumsticks üben kann, deshalb habe ich mir diese Sticks bestellt. Ich kenne mich mit Drumsticks noch nicht besonders gut aus, aber bisher bin ich zufrieden. Ich übe damit immer wieder zwischendurch auf einem Übungspad, und dafür funktionieren sie für mich sehr gut. Sie liegen angenehm in der Hand und machen auf mich einen soliden Eindruck. Für fortgeschrittene Drummer kann ich sie nicht wirklich beurteilen, aber aus Anfänger-Sicht finde ich sie absolut passend. Nach dem, was ich recherchiert habe, sind sie eine gute und vernünftige Wahl für den Einstieg.
