Vic Firth 5A Wood Tip American Classic Extreme Drum Sticks

The Classic 5A with Extended Reach and Power

The Vic Firth 5A Wood Tip American Classic Extreme Drum Sticks take the universally popular 5A design and add an extra half-inch of length, creating a stick that offers increased reach, greater leverage, and a touch more power without significantly altering the classic 5A feel. This "Extreme" version is crafted from select hickory, a dense and resilient wood known for its durability, classic response, and ability to withstand the rigors of consistent playing.

The extra length translates to greater momentum and reach around the drum kit, making it easier to play larger setups or navigate fills with more 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 Vic Firth 5A Extreme is an excellent choice for drummers who love the balanced feel of a 5A but desire a bit more power and extended reach for their playing, making it versatile across rock, pop, jazz, and beyond.
