Vic Firth 5A Wood Tip American Classic PureGrit Drum Sticks

The World's Most Popular Stick with a Raw, Grippy Feel for Sweaty Hands

The Vic Firth 5A Wood Tip American Classic PureGrit Drum Sticks take the universally beloved 5A profile and enhance it with a unique, lacquer-free finish designed specifically for drummers who experience sweaty hands. The "PureGrit" processing creates an unfinished, abrasive texture on the stick shaft, providing a natural, gritty feel that significantly improves grip and control, allowing you to ditch tapes, waxes, or gloves.

Crafted from premium USA hickory, a dense and resilient wood known for its exceptional durability and classic response, these sticks maintain all the inherent qualities that make the 5A the world's best-selling stick. The traditional tear-drop shaped wood tip is deeply back-cut for an intensified cymbal response, producing rich, full cymbal sounds and articulate drum tones. By offering a raw, textured grip, the PureGrit 5A allows drummers to play with more confidence, speed, and power, ensuring the stick stays firmly in hand even during the most intense performances, without compromising the classic feel and balance.
