Vic Firth 5B nylon tipped drumsticks

These particular drumsticks are an excellent choice for anyone,. They are strong, durable and can last for years if you're not a heavy hitter. I bought my first pair of these in the early 2000s and I was sold ever since!! Awesome product!!

The best drumsticks ever made

Throughout my 50+ years of playing drums I've used about all the name brand sticks available! I was always concerned about the grip of the stick, how straight the stick was, did the sticks both weigh the same, the feel of the wood, the integrity and longevity of the stick, and how versatile the stick was!
With Vic Firth drum sticks I stopped worrying about all the above mentioned concerns and problems I had with other name brand drum sticks. Vic Firth guarantees a great product and they follow up on their quality! Vic Firth has truly changed the landscape of the drumming world by assuring that the drumsticks you hold in your hands are the best product available! I'm a Vic Firth customer for life! You should be as well…..!!!

very nice sticks

I have just changed to this stick and I love it. it is a lot less stressful on the hands and fingers over a long period of playing time. They are everything you need in a 5B stick but they are just a little less heavy at the tip end which to me increases your speed and puts way lees fatigue on your hands and fingers. Great response off the ride cymbal. I love them and I have finally found a stick I like for long periods of playing at a older age.

Stick sticky

I have a pair of Vic Firth's sticks, so making this purchase was a no-brainer. I am becoming a huge Vic Firth fan. The sticks I have by him are second to none. I can play faster and better. I don't understand it, but I am not going to question it either.
Music background: I am not a pro, student, or a hobbyist. I have been playing for 36 years never with a band, but at church.
