Vic Firth - American Classic Extreme 55B

The Vic Firth American Classic Extreme 55B pair of drumsticks is designed for drummers who need a heavy, sturdy pair to produce a powerful sound. By increasing both the shaft thickness to 1.55 cm and the overall length to 16.5", this version exceeds the dimensions of a classic 5B.

This oversized profile offers maximum leverage, which boosts striking power without straining your movements, whilst allowing you to effortlessly reach cymbals positioned higher up or further away in the kit.

Crafted from premium American hickory, its dense structure withstands intense rimshots and effectively dampens vibrations to protect your hands whilst playing. Its medium taper maintains a healthy swing and natural rebound despite the stick’s overall weight.
The teardrop-shaped wooden olive completes the design by widening the contact area on the drumheads, producing a very heavy, deep drum sound and a particularly warm, enveloping cymbal resonance.
