Measuring 16 inches in length and polished for a smooth finish, these sticks deliver bright, focused sound ideal for drummers seeking precision and balance. Each pair is meticulously weight-matched and pitch-paired in the USA, continuing Vic Firth’s legacy of quality and innovation since 1963. ## Description The American Sound series features our most popular American Classic models, but with a full, round tip. The surface area of the round tip brings increased focus and clarity to the drums and cymbals without sacrificing feel or balance. Since 1963 we have led the way in developing how drumsticks and mallets are made. From our wood drying process and centreless grinding production methods, through to the individual pitch pairing and weight-matching of every pair of sticks that we produce, every detail matters. Our USA based factory combines the consistencies of technology and machine processing, with the discerning eyes and ears of drummers, percussionists and wood experts. Every step of our process is manned by human hands. It is this attention to detail that yields the perfect blend of durability, feel, and sound. Vic Firth works closely with some of the very best drummers and percussionists from around the world to produce drumsticks that capture a wide range of feel and sound. From Classical to Rock, Jazz to Folk, Marching Band to Pop the Vic Firth range has got it covered. (The 4 Korners) Jerrod Sullivan's Go-To Range: AMERICAN SOUND Our journey began in the late 50’s/early 60’s when Vic Firth, a musician himself, was not satisfied with the variety of sticks and mallets he could find in the market. As the Principal Timpanist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, he started crafting his own sticks and mallets in his garage, meticulously poring over specs and details until he made exactly what he needed for his own feel and quality of sound. Sometimes he would whittle the sticks by hand, other times he enlisted the help of a wood turner. As word of his implements spread through his students and other percussionists, calls for orders from music stores started coming in. Vic’s idea that each drummer should be able to find their own perfect pair, and not simply settle for what's out there, is at the core of our brand. Our catalog now includes over 200 varieties of sticks and mallets that range in length, taper, tip, and material.. all designed to help you find a match for your own feel and your quality of sound. ## Features - The American Sound 5A drumsticks feature the shaft and neck specifications of the classic Vic Firth 5A but with a full round tip - This tip change creates a completely different sound bringing increased focus and clarity to the drums and cymbals - The Hickory stick has a medium taper and clear lacquer coating - Wood Tip: Round - Dimensions: Length = 16" | 40.64cm Diameter = .565" | 1.44cm ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B0002F51MK | | Best Sellers Rank | 23,061 in Musical Instruments & DJ (See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ) 366 in Drum Sticks | | Body Material | Wood | | Brand Name | Vic Firth | | Colour | Brown | | Connector Type | no connector | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (170) 4.4 out of 5 stars | | Finish Type | Polished | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00750795011001 | | Included Components | Drumsticks | | Item Dimensions | 39.4 x 3 x 1.3 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Drum Stick | | Item Weight | 0.01 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Vic Firth | | Material | Wood | | Model Name | Vic FIrth - American Sound® Drumsticks AS5A - American Hickory - Round Wood Tip | | Model Number | VIC AS5A | | Number Of Items | 1 | | Part Number | AS5A | | Product Warranty | N/a. | | Sound Profile | Bright | | Unit Count | 1 Pair | | Upc | 750795011001 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Vic Firth - **Colour:** Brown - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 39.4 x 3 x 1.3 centimetres - **Material:** Wood - **Model name:** Vic FIrth - American Sound® Drumsticks AS5A - American Hickory - Round Wood Tip ## Images ![Vic FIrth - American Sound® Drumsticks AS5A - American Hickory - Round Wood Tip - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61PE9YCCUHL.jpg) ![Vic FIrth - American Sound® Drumsticks AS5A - American Hickory - Round Wood Tip - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Bu5uzN6bL.jpg) ![Vic FIrth - American Sound® Drumsticks AS5A - American Hickory - Round Wood Tip - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/510nEWeT9cL.jpg) ![Vic FIrth - American Sound® Drumsticks AS5A - American Hickory - Round Wood Tip - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6196D0x3B5L.jpg) ![Vic FIrth - American Sound® Drumsticks AS5A - American Hickory - Round Wood Tip - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/21sUv6P7BuL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern Name, Size Name** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Do these drumsticks come with anything ?** A: Just the pair of drumsticks **Q: what is the difference in 5A and 5B?** A: American Classic® 5ATear drop tip for rich cymbal sounds.
