With bold designs for fuller sound, the Classics are turned from select hickory a dense wood with little flex for a more pronounced sound. Hickory is also capable of withstanding a great deal of shock, making it highly durable. Combines the dimensions of 5A and 5B. A great choice when a 5B is just a little more stick than required.

Review: Great product - My brother loves these sticks
Review: Perfect Balance of Speed & Power - I have been using this stick as a semi-professional performing percussionist and recording artist since 2012. It is an excellent compromise between the speed and control of a 5A and the projection and power of a 5B. The weight balance and taper is ideal for solid rock, funk, blues and pop drumming. It works for most Latin stuff too, although sometimes I find it a hair too heavy for certain Jazz styles. It is not a bad concert snare stick either although it might not be my first choice for that application. The bottom line is if you are left wanting a little more "oomph" than the 5A is providing, but a 5B feels slow and cumbersome in your grip, try this stick. I tried it on a suggestion and have used it consistently for almost 3 years. I recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great stick, pick up a pair and try for yourself!
*by T***. on March 27, 2016*

Great drum stick. I love the balance. I usually play SD4/HD4, but I like this for lighter stuff and might switch this to my main stick. The balance is great and the sticks are consistent. I've been moving from Pro Mark to Vater to Vic Firth's, but I think I'm going to settle on these as my main sticks and stay with Vic Firth. They're always great in my opinion.
