Vic Firth X5B American Classic Drum SticksThe Vic Firth X5B American Classic Hickory Drumsticks come with a Tear drop tip and are ideal for rock, band and practice. Like the 5B, but with more power and reach.
The American Classic line combines tradition and Vic Firth style. With bold designs for fuller sound, the Classics are turned from select hickory – a dense wood with little flex for a more pronounced sound. Hickory is also capable of withstanding a great deal of shock, making it highly durable.
The wood tips are deeply back-cut for intensified cymbal response. The nylon tips are similar in size and shape to their wood counterparts, providing enhanced performance and a feel closer to their original wood tip models. Nylon tips are the most durable and brightest sounding on cymbals.
