Vic Firth 55A Wood Tip Drumsticks

Strike the perfect balance between power and precision with the American Classic® drumstick range, where traditional craftsmanship meets contemporary Vic Firth innovation. These bold-designed sticks are meticulously turned from premium select hickory, chosen specifically for its dense composition and minimal flex characteristics that produce a more pronounced, articulate sound. The inherent strength of hickory timber makes these sticks exceptionally durable, capable of absorbing significant shock and impact during intense playing sessions.

The thoughtfully engineered tips feature deep back-cutting, a design element that significantly enhances cymbal response and articulation. This particular model cleverly combines the dimensional characteristics of both 5A and 5B sticks, creating an ideal middle ground for drummers who find a standard 5B slightly too substantial for their playing requirements. The result is a versatile stick that offers the perfect compromise between weight, balance, and playability for a wide range of musical styles and performance situations.
