Vic Firth 5B American Classic
The American Classic line combines tradition and Vic Firth style. With bold designs, the Classics are turned from select hickory — a dense wood with little flex for a more pronounced sound.
Hickory is also capable of withstanding a great deal of shock, making it highly durable. The tips are deeply back-cut for intensified cymbal response.
More substantial than a 5A, but not overpowering. Medium taper for a great balance.
Features:
- Diameter: .595" | 1.51cm
- Length: 16" | 40.64cm
- Medium Taper
- Material: Hickory
- Surface coating: Lacquer
- Tip Type: Wood
- Tip Shape: Tear Drop
- Tip Surface area: Medium
