American Classic 5A Drum Sticks

Great quality

Good balanced versatile sticks. I mostly use these and 7As for jazz drumming. I will note back in the '90s sticks were built of higher quality and they didn't break or chip away so easily. I don't know if it's because they're manufactured using younger wood or what but drumsticks just don't hold up like they used to. Seems quality went downhill around 2000. This goes for Promark too.

I recently got into drums and needed some sticks that wouldn’t break the bank. These seemed perfect. I’ve never heard of the brand before but the reviews it had was enough to convince me to buy them. It usually goes for around $15 but I managed to get them while they were on sale for just $9.99. I’ve never used drumsticks before so I can’t compare these with others but I do like how they feel in my hand. They’re a good size and have a good weight to them. They seem well made as well, I don’t see them breaking anytime soon unless I throw it hard at a wall or something. I’ve been using them everyday for practice and they’re still in great condition. My wife isn’t too fond of all the noise that I make but we managed to compromise (I bought her a pair of noise reducing earplugs found here which seem to be doing the trick). Actually I eventually bought myself a pair as well..it helps me get into “the zone” so to speak. The only thing that I thought was weird is that it comes in a huge box! Like it’s not even the same size as the sticks. Who’s idea was it to do that?? Another downer that I want to mention is the tape. The drumsticks are held together by a strip out of the box but it’s SO hard to remove properly. You know how sometimes when you remove a sticker there’s that icky sticky residue leftover? That’s what you’ll get with these. It took me probably half an hour just to get it all off. It seems like I’m not the only person with the problem either as multiple people have mentioned the same thing on amazon. But I don’t regret buying them. They feel good in my hands and are a great weight. 9/10 would buy again :)

Excellent product.

Works really nice! It’s good for beginners and even after slamming against hard surfaces it stays strong! I can grip it nicely and it fits perfectly.

These are nice sticks, But for me the tip is too tiny (wood tip stick) Have not seen the nylon tip version yet...

Classic drum sticks, perfect weight and tips don’t wear out my electric kit.

I only use Vic Firth. The choice of professionals.

Bonne qualité

Just bought these sticks and slightly disappointed the rubber tips weren’t included. The product description isn’t clear as to what is included. The pictures of silicone tips inserted on the sticks & images of them packaged are somewhat misleading. Great sticks though.

Ho acquistato queste bacchette per mio figlio di 10 anni che ha appena iniziato il suo percorso con la batteria. Ci siamo affidati al consiglio del suo maestro e non potevamo fare scelta migliore. Perché le consiglio: Consigliate dai professionisti: Il fatto che siano state suggerite direttamente dal maestro è una garanzia. Il modello 5A è un classico universale, ideale per imparare l'impugnatura corretta e la gestione del colpo. Qualità e robustezza: A prima vista e al tatto si percepisce subito che sono ben fatte. Il legno di hickory americano trasmette una sensazione di grande solidità, fondamentale per resistere alle prime sessioni di studio (e ai colpi meno precisi!). Equilibrate: Nonostante la giovane età, mio figlio le maneggia con facilità. Hanno il giusto peso e bilanciamento, permettendogli di suonare senza affaticare troppo i polsi. In sintesi: Un prodotto di qualità che fa sentire un piccolo batterista come un vero professionista. Se cercate affidabilità e robustezza per chi sta iniziando, queste Vic Firth sono una garanzia assoluta.
