The Vic Firth American Classic 5AN Nylon Tip Hickory Drumsticks are everything you think of when you hear 5A drumsticks. These Vic Firth American Classic 5AN Nylon Tip drumsticks are the same classic 5A, but with a nylon tip for extra durability and a brighter sound on cymbals and more smack on drums. Not too light, thick, or heavy - just the right size to cover all styles. And, made by Vic Firth - so you know you're getting your money's worth.

But why would you choose the Vic Firth 5AN? They are made from a special hickory that is ideal for drumsticks. They are durable, reliable. You can use them for months because they undergo a rigorous manufacturing process that goes above and beyond expectations - Weight and tone matching just for starters. The ones that don't make it are used to heat the kiln. The Vic Firth sticks aren't just another 5A, they are their own instrument. An instrument that has been the drummer's go-to choice for decades.
