Key Features
When you think of 5A drumsticks, there's one pair that comes to mind. The Vic Firth 5A. 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. 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. 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. This value bundle includes twelve pairs - ideal for the gigging drummer!

The Vic Firth 5A has probably been through more pro drummer’s hands than any other 5A out there on the market. That’s because no one else does sticks to the Vic Firth standard. When other sticks break, the Vic Firth 5A doesn’t even break a sweat. And that’s why everyone knows their name. Less stick-breaking mid-set means more time to groove in style.
The Vic Firth American Classic 5AN Nylon Tip drumsticks go through an injection moulding process that was originally pioneered by Vic Firth. This allows for complex, precision shapes that match their wood tip counterparts exactly. They are more durable than a wood tip, so not only do they produce a more crisp, bright tone – they won’t let you down by chipping or coming off during a performance.
You know that drumsticks are more than just pieces of wood for hitting drums. There’s a lot of science to it. Working on a regular basis with the wood science department at the University of Maine, and several other scientific organisations, Vic Firth put the quality of your drumsticks at the forefront of their operation.
There are 14 kinds of hickory and only 4 are ideal for drumsticks. Vic Firth uses the best of those 4 to make the American Classic Hickory drumsticks.
Most drumstick companies pick up the manufacturing process after these steps. Vic Firth understand the importance of getting these stages right.
There are many more steps in producing the perfect pair of drumsticks, but these are the key steps that set Vic Firth apart as a leading drumstick manufacturer. After 10 more steps of careful honing, refining, and then finishing, you finally have your much endeared Vic Firth American Classic 5A drumsticks. No one else invests that much time and energy in creating the perfect pair of sticks.
