    I'm typically a 5B or Extreme 5B user, depending on the type of music I'm playing at the time. I grabbed a set of these sticks at my local GC before a gig as I liked the way they felt on the practice pad. Of course we all k ow the pad isn't the same as the real deal so it was worth a try. I have to say that I'm happy with Mt purchase. These sticks feel good in the hand and have a nice whip to them. I like the sound on the ride. I'm kinda off put by the cost of sticks these days, but Vic Firth usually last the longest for me.

  • Great Length, Others Are Too Short!

    Love these sticks. I need longer sticks and always used the Dave Weckl, but when I play rock and blues, I need a good 5B. Glad they have one with longer length for people with larger hands!!!

    The best drumsticks for hard hitters like me! When it comes to Rock n Roll or Blues Rock / Metal these sticks do the job. Great diameter, length, tip. Everything is perfect for my playing style. I'd by them again, and again... AND AGAIN Vic Firth, you're the best! Enough said.
