Vic Firth - American Classic Extreme 55A

The Vic Firth American Classic Extreme 55A pair of drumsticks meets the needs of drummers looking for the ideal thickness between a 5A and a 5B, but with a wider range.

With a diameter of .58” and an extended length of 16.5”, this model offers an excellent compromise. That extra half-inch shifts the weight slightly forwards, providing better leverage for increased striking power and allowing you to reach all parts of the kit easily without straining your movements.

Machined from sturdy American hickory, the shaft withstands repeated impacts and reduces hand fatigue by absorbing vibrations.

Its medium shank maintains a smooth rebound and good precision, whether on the toms or the snare drum. At the tip, the teardrop-shaped wooden olive ensures broad contact with the drumheads and cymbals, producing a round, woody and warm sound that adapts effortlessly to most musical styles.
