Special Features: Since 1963, Vic Firth Inc. has produced some of the best drumsticks and mallets available. Through ongoing improvement in material selection, manufacturing processes, uncompromising quality control and their proprietary computer testing system, they have truly provided their customers with the aPerfect Paira of drumsticks and mallets.As every Vic Firth drumstick passes through the manufacturing process, it is inspected and reinspected to ensure the highest quality product.This begins at the sawmill, where only the finest logs are cut into squares. These squares are dried to an exact moisture level in our own kilns under closely monitored conditions which prevents stress, cracks and warpage.The squares are doweled and then agrounda into drumsticks on centerless grinders a an approach which maintains the greatest consistency at the highest levels of dimensional tolerance.After finishing and labeling, the sticks are rolled again for straightness, hand sorted for color consistency and then sent through a proprietary computer pairing system. This exclusive process measures the weight, pitch and density of each stick and compares these variables to the characteristics of hundreds of other sticks. Pairs are then matched to the closest possible tolerances, resulting in two drumsticks that are perfectly matched for optimum balance, sound and feel. No other stick manufacturer in the world offers this value-added service.

Product Description
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.

Easy to use for beginners May 15, 2008

All famous bands' drummers use these sticks. This was the major reason that made me choose Vic Firth. 5A is for beginners and Shakira's drummer Brendan Buckley uses it. I don't like them and their music but THESE STICKS ARE WONDERFUL I think. Maybe there are better sticks but I have to search the shops.

I used to think that a drum stick was just a drum stick until I played Vic Firths. I had been so used to using no name brand sticks, and once I picked up a pair of these, I could feel the difference immediately. You pick them up, and before even playing with them, you can tell how much precision goes into these sticks. Not only is the weight of each stick completely equal, the stick itself is so perfectly balanced that it makes playing so much more fun and enjoyable. I recommend these to anyone who plays any type of drum, in any style.
