Our Teachers' Review
The Vic Firth 5A is the best-selling drumstick for good reason — its medium weight and balanced feel make it the ideal all-purpose stick for students at every level. Whether practicing rudiments on a pad, playing snare drum in band, or working on a drum kit, the 5A handles it all.
Our teachers recommend Vic Firth 5A sticks for every new drum student. The consistent weight-matching between sticks (a Vic Firth specialty) ensures even response from both hands, which is important for developing balanced technique. Buy at least two pairs to always have a backup ready.
