Vic Firth drum sticks pair with teardrop tip from the American Classic Hickory Series and by far the most common and sold stick on the market. The 5A can also be seen as "the average" in terms of design and sizing and thus is often a reference and starting point to designate other types of sticks. If you are not yet familiar with the world of drum sticks and you are at the beginning of your search; start with the 5A and test and try from there. Not only a safe choice, but simply a good choice! Practically every other drummer has gone before you!
Hickory is a hard, strong wood and therefore very suitable material for a drumstick in the broad sense and application.

- Diameter : 1.44 cm
- Instrument : drums
- Length (cm) : 40.64 cm
