Vic FirthAmerican Classic® Extreme 5BN -- nylon tip

I use several sizes of drumsticks, depending on what I'm playing and the Vic Firth 3A American Classics have been my main go to sticks, until now. I decided to try the 5B Extremes, with the extra length and I'm definitely loving them. Absolute solid quality and balance, for sure!

My grandson plays the drums. He needed new drumsticks so here they are. Thank you..

Needed a new pair of rock band sticks and these work great for that purpose. Probably overkill, but whatever.

My son is a professional drummer in a touring band. These are the sticks he uses. I wised up and found this vendor here on Amazon. Since I have Prime, I can order these in multiples for him and he gets them in 2 days which is so convenient for when he has to go on the road. (Plus I'm just a really great mom) When this order arrived he told me the sticks were perfectly proportionally matched (drummers will know what that means). This is a win!

I am 6ft 4 and like to sit quite far back from my drum kit. Despite having long arms, the extra length on these drumsticks truly makes all the difference. Drumming is all about muscle memory and having every part of your kit in exactly the right place - these sticks help to make that easy, and ensure you always strike your drum or cymbal in exactly the right place without having to think about it or stretch.I play mostly classic rock in a covers band, and these are the perfect weight and durability, even for the songs where I have to hit hard. If you are tall, or like sitting further away from your kit than most, then I highly recommend these sticks for you.

For those not in the know: The "Extreme 5B" by Vic Firth is the exact same stick as their normal 5B ( Vic Firth American Classic® 5B ) but it's 1/2" longer. They have a whole "Extreme" line for many of the common models of drum sticks.Vic Firth makes great sticks. They are durable, the pairs tend to be matched very well, they feel good, and I generally prefer their tip shapes over other brands.My only critique with this model is the same critique I have will all from their "extreme" line of drum sticks. The drummer tends to feel more vibration or "shock" with these sticks than the normal 5B stick. As a result they don't rebound as well as a normal 5B. It feels as if the energy of the stroke gets channeled back through the stick to the hands rather than into the rebound of the stick off the head. This seems to be true of the X5A ( Vic Firth American Classic® Extreme 5A ) vs normal 5A ( Vic Firth American Classic 5A Drum Sticks ) as well. It is especially noticeable when playing on a practice pad, where you are especially focused on the feel of the drum stick off the pad.Of course, a different drummer (with different technique) may not feel the same vibration as I do. Also, some drummers may feel that the advantage of a longer stick, giving more leverage and hence more power, and of course, more reach, out-ways the negative.Bottom line: Not my personal choice in a drum stick, but I recommend trying out a variety of sticks to find the ones that work for you.

These are my go to sticks. They are simply the best I've ever used and I've been playing since 8 yrs old.They're long, thick, and heavy without being too long,thick and heavy. Perfect balance and feel great in my hands even after 3 hr gigs.

I'm only a casual drummer so I can't tell you how good these play in a live setting, the kind of sound you'll get from these or anything like that, BUT I can tell you that I have enjoyed using these sticks and they haven't broken yet!I'm kind of a hard hitter when I drum (I tend to play hard rock / metal songs) and even though I'd ideally love to use a really light stick, I find that those tend to break on me easier. So far, this pair of sticks has held up nicely and can withstand my playing style, yet they don't feel overly heavy in my hands. Love the nylon tips. Probably my favorite sticks to date.

Baguettes légèrement plus grande que des 5B standards. La qualité et solidité Vic First toujours au rendez-vous.

The only sick I play!

Precio igual que en las tiendasÚtilAguantadora

Purchased these sticks for my son as a gift - he loved them!

La qualité Vic Firth n'est plus à démontrer. J'avais choisi ce modèle à cause de la longueur, non pas pour une plus grande allonge mais parce que le batteur à qui elles étaient destinées a des mains immenses. Mais pas encore assez longues pour lui, à peine 1 cm de plus que des baguettes standard. Si vous avez plus long, je suis preneur. 4 étoiles à cause de ça.Le grip constitué d'un revêtement caoutchouté semble être efficace.
