    Best sticks I ever used, felt like the 7a, but much longer, Much speed since they are light, and much more power, leverage, and reach than the 7a. Elevated my playing. Just add nylon tips!

  • My go to sticks!!

    Being a Drummer of over 25 years, you go through so many stages of genres you play to. Over the years i have used many different style and brands of drum sticks. But, i could never really find that one that made it everything just right!! I came across the Vic Firth American Classic extreme 8D drum sticks, and let me tell you, changed my life!! they feel great, light but yet so strong. I'm a heavy hitter and these definitely get the job done. I recommend you try them out!

  • Great Sticks

    Have gone through a few pair, long but thin allows for fast and loud playing… in my humble opinion.

    Been using these a little while now and I love them. Great length, weight is balanced. Like a heavy hitting 7a. I play fairly fast metal and these sticks hold up on all aspects except for hitting a bell with authority.
