Vic Firth American Classic 2BN - Nylon tip

Trying out for rock-band use, working well for me. Vic Firth has always made the highest-quality sticks, mallets, and other percussion gear.

I've been playing drums for over 13 years, tried out every brand of every detail you might think of. I've used a ton of different brands and models of drumsticks from the ProMark 2B's to the Regal Tip Deaths and even all the way to the STLs. But for some reason I always found myself going back to these. Truth be told, they do feel great, sound great, they offer great amounts of speed with awesome control, I really dig the attack and articulation the nylon tip offers, not to mention the part that the tip has never broken on me, unlike the wood tip. That being said considering that some people who have heard me play say that I kill the drums every time I hit them, and if that's true, these are a heck of a pair of sticks since my last pair I bought well over a year ago and they still keep on going and are even in good shape. Overall, I highly recommend these if you're looking for a solid, heavy stick. If you're looking for something lighter any other Vic Firth nylon tip will work great. Contrary to what some people might say, never has the tip flown away on me.

Great! After having a few years with the starter sticks, you can feel the difference with these.

Good price for these. I used promark's shira kashi oak 2b nylon tips for about 20 years. I bought a pair of these and immediately knew I was going to use these from now on. They are heavy enough to know you're hitting hard, but are light and airy enough to be a lightweight stick. Might be the hickory used compared to the promark's oak ones, but I have completely switched to this stick for playing punk and metal drums. I have about 8 pairs of these so far.

Great for acoustic drums. These are a little to heavy for Mesh electronic heads.

I ordered 6 pair of sticks (since I thought that they were sold as eaches) dumb me! But anyway, it's a good, solid stick. Vic Firth has a reputation. I know these are not the best they offer but for me being a drummer at leisure in my basement, they work well.

I must say Vic Firth's are the best. Based on a 2b nylon tip size. I am a seasoned drummer for over 30 years. I recently bought every brand out there. Well since TAMA PowerTools are not availble. Here are the results: 1st-Vic Firth, 2nd-Zildjian, 3rd-ProMark. 4th-Boso (they didn't have 2b nylon tip) This final talley is not what I expected. All 4 of those are going in my paying gig bag. As for practice sticks, for a lesser price, I can only recomend Perfektion Colored Sticks - 7 pairs/box, all those other less priced 2b's, where way too light & I had to super glue every nylon head back into place, before use. If you prefer wood tip 5b or smaller sizes then Boso sticks may be your 1st or 2nd choice.
