Review: Love these drumsticks - Very nice drumsticks… It’s been taking some time for me to get used to the extra length and sometimes I click my sticks together… But soon these will feel natural Review: Pretty cool! - Love Vic Firth sticks. I’ve been playing with them for years. Over the last 6 years I’ve used the AJ1 or AJ2. They are light and fast so I was interested in the freestyle 5a as to how they would feel being an inch longer. I’m not a fan of a standard 5a. These took some getting used to but I really like them. They are heavier but after playing with them a bit I found that extra weight and length to come in handy. I let the stick do more and the results are sweet. I feel like I upped my chops 10%. ## Features - More length, More versatility, More you, with Freestyle - Massive 17" length and extra long taper more than doubles "sweet spot" - Offers wide array of responses and feels out of same pair of sticks - Switch from a light touch to a massive sound - Sizes Available: 7A, 85A, 5A, 55A, 5B ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07MXQ5VVX | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,809 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #42 in Drumsticks | | Brand Name | Vic Firth | | Color | Natural | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (715) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00750795050864 | | Included Components | Single pair of Vic Firth American Concept Freestyle Drumsticks 5A | | Item Dimensions | 17 x 1.14 x 0.57 inches | | Item Type Name | Drumsticks | | Item Weight | 0.2 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Vic Firth | | Material | Hickory | | Model Name | FS5A | | Model Number | VIC FS5A | | Part Number | FS5A | | Sound Profile | Versatile | | UPC | 750795050864 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Not applicable. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Vic Firth - **Color:** Natural - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 17 x 1.14 x 0.57 inches - **Material:** Hickory - **Model Name:** FS5A ## Images ![American Concept Freestyle 5A - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31WP316tVbL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love these drumsticks *by S***H on March 23, 2026* Very nice drumsticks… It’s been taking some time for me to get used to the extra length and sometimes I click my sticks together… But soon these will feel natural ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty cool! *by A***K on April 16, 2019* Love Vic Firth sticks.

Smaller and lighter than my usual sticks, for times when I need to pull the volume back. I was surprised to realize that they're about 1" longer than my usual sticks, which is fine with me, but just a bit unexpected. ## Frequently Bought Together - Vic Firth American Concept Freestyle 5A - Vic Firth American Classic 5A Drum Sticks - Vic Firth American Classic Extreme 5AN - Nylon Tip --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/111067799-american-concept-freestyle-5a](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/111067799-american-concept-freestyle-5a) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
