The Vic Firth Gregg Bissonette “Backbeat” Signature pair of drumsticks features a 5B-style shaft to deliver remarkable power with every strike.

Designed for drummers seeking total versatility, Vic Firth’s Gregg Bissonette “Backbeat” Signature drumsticks break the mould by offering an all-round model capable of switching from rock to jazz without batting an eyelid.

Built around a traditional 5B American hickory shaft, these sticks draw on the density of this wood to withstand repeated rimshots without faltering.

Its classic length of 40.64 cm is combined with a medium diameter of 1.49 cm, creating the ideal balance for session drummers who switch styles mid-gig.

The strength of this design lies in its short, front-heavy neck – a geometry designed to shift the weight towards the teardrop-shaped tip and make the bell of a ride cymbal sing with absolute clarity.

Coated in the brand’s famous black non-slip finish, these drumsticks prevent slipping caused by sweat.
