Vic Firth American Classic Extreme Drum Sticks Wood X5B

The American Classic Extreme Drum Sticks from Vic Firth provide the perfect combination of power, articulation and warmth for the discerning drummer. With a 16 1/2" length and .580" diameter, these sticks offer extra reach and volume when you need to cut through. Crafted from premium American hickory, known for its durability and responsiveness, the Extreme Drum Sticks produce a full, rich tone from drums and articulate cymbal work from their tear-drop tip.

Added Length and Diameter Provide Extra Power

For drummers who find the standard 5A sticks lacking in power and projection, the longer length and wider diameter of the Extreme Drum Sticks provide the extra volume and fuller tone you've been missing. The 16 1/2" length gives you more leverage and the .580" diameter produces a bigger, warmer sound. When you need to cut through loud music or play an outdoor gig, the added size of these sticks will allow your playing to be heard.

Premium Hickory Wood Offers Optimal Balance of Rigidity and Flexibility

Crafted from American hickory, a dense, resilient wood, the Extreme Drum Sticks provide an ideal balance of rigidity and flexibility. Hickory's hardness gives the sticks durability and helps produce warm, rich tones from drums and cymbals. Yet, it still has enough give for comfortable playability and control. The result is a responsive stick that feels solid in your hands and brings out the best sound from your instruments.

Tear-Drop Tip Facilitates Articulate Cymbal Work

While the Extreme Drum Sticks have a rounded tip for producing a full tone on drums, they taper to a narrower tear-drop tip. The tear-drop shape focuses the energy of your stroke on a smaller surface area, allowing for more articulate playing on cymbals. You can execute intricate cymbal parts with clarity and better control. The taper also helps prevent excess vibration for a cleaner sound.

A Versatile and Dynamic Choice for Drummers

Whether you play rock, jazz, funk or other styles, the Extreme Drum Sticks are a versatile and dynamic choice. They provide the power, reach, responsiveness and tonal qualities to handle a range of musical genres and venues. For drummers looking to add more volume and warmth to their playing, these sticks deliver.
