Vic Firth 5AN American Classic Hickory

Can't go wrong with these. Good quality, quite cheap, it look like they will last for some time and the nylon head is safer for e-drums.

My drummer loves them, there is a reason for it.

I tried different sticks, long, short, thick, thin, from different types of wood and with different tips. But I stopped at these, for playing light music, for clear, not strong accents on cymbals. For rock, I prefer the same, but with a wooden tip.

Balanced, for me, in all respects, weight, length, thickness and service life. If you are a beginning drummer, take these sticks, you will not go wrong.

I have used these sticks for the past MANY years - primarily used in playing metal, where they have a nice attack due to the nylon tip. They especially make the ride sound good for metal music.

They are nicely balanced and durable. No reason not to buy them, unless you go for a more "soft" sound.

I've played on them for 10+ years now and can't think of changing them any time soon. I like the feel of wood but the nylon tip means the tip will last and works with my electronic drum pad well enough. Quality is pretty solid and they last relatively long, at least compared to other sticks I've used.

I prefer 5an over 5a and for jazzy rifs 7an #keep it light you get dame sick timing 🥁

I am not an every day drummer so for me these sticks last for the year. I bought 1 pair when the pandemic started and managed to break those a year later :)

I find these the most comfortable, well balanced, light, strong, equal weighted and value sticks.

Got it for my gf so she can practice on a practice pad. Got the ones with the plastic tips thinking they gonna be quiter. Not sure if they really are, since she lost interest really fast and the drumsticks are now just laying on the shelf collecting dust together with the pad :D
From my brief drumming background I can say that the sticks are good quality and I can definitely recommend them.

Classic 5a stick works for virtually all musical situations, legendary quality, sticks are indeed matched and perfectly straight. It's my second time buying this pack and I'm very satisfied
