Vic Firth 55A Wood Tip American Classic Extreme Drum Sticks

The Versatile Hybrid with Extended Reach and Power

The Vic Firth 55A Wood Tip American Classic Extreme Drum Sticks offer a unique blend of attributes, sitting comfortably between the popular 5A and 5B models, but with an added half-inch of length for enhanced reach and leverage. This "Extreme" version is crafted from select hickory, a dense and resilient wood known for its exceptional durability, classic response, and ability to withstand the rigors of consistent playing across various musical styles.

The extra length provides greater momentum and an expanded reach around the drum kit, making it easier to navigate larger setups or execute powerful fills with enhanced fluidity. The traditional tear-drop shaped wood tip is deeply back-cut to provide an intensified cymbal response, producing rich, full cymbal sounds and articulate drum tones. The 55A's slightly thicker diameter compared to a 5A offers a solid feel, while its balanced weight ensures excellent maneuverability. The Vic Firth 55A Extreme is an excellent choice for drummers who appreciate the nuanced feel of the 5A/5B hybrid but desire a bit more power and extended reach for their playing, making it highly versatile for rock, pop, jazz, and beyond.
