Vic Firth 5A Wood Drumsticks

The Vic Firth American Classic 5A is the most-played drumstick in the world — the benchmark by which all other sticks are measured. Vic Firth's flagship hickory stick, used by drummers across every genre from jazz to metal to country to gospel.

Why 5A is the standard: The 5A's balance between size, weight, and reach works for almost any style of music. Light enough for jazz brushwork and ghost notes, substantial enough for rock and pop, with the classic Vic Firth feel and rebound that lets drummers play faster with less fatigue.

Stock for: Every drummer who walks in the door. Working drummers, students, gigging musicians, churches, schools, and rehearsal rooms. The 5A is the safest "I don't know what they use" stick recommendation.
