Vic Firth American Classic Extreme 5AN - Nylon Tip

These are recommended for use on mesh style electric kits, which is why I bought them. They also have much less lacquer or varnish on them so they are gripper than the wood tip ones I tried previously.

These are by far the best sticks I’ve tried. Before these, I used the Promark 747s. I have also used Vater, Regal Tip, Ahead, and Zildjian sticks in the past, and these are the best by far! These have the length, balance, and forgiveness that the 747s used to have before they changed manufacturing process. These usually last me 10 hours of play. In the pictures, you can see that I play the rim a good bit, and they they last long enough for the butt to get seasoned with hand oils. Promarks simply would not last that long- they usually failed at the neck or tip region before I could break them in. The usual place these sticks fail are at the shoulder after extensive abuse. The acorn tips (I prefer the brightness of nylon) give nice warmth, definition, and feel for nice articulate sticking. The longer length (roughly 16-1/2”) give more range options for rim shots and shoulder strikes and provide better balance and feel. No stick is “perfect”- but these are pretty darn close.

Muy comodas y tienen un buen precio, la compre para mi bateria electronica.

Vic Firth wie immer sehr gute Qualität und doch langlebiger als andere. Mich hat vor allem die längere Ausführung begeistert.

por el precio son bastante resistentes, la calidad de la madera es muy buena y ligeros
