Description

The Vic Firth Extreme 5A drumsticks are the ideal choice for drummers who love extra length and power without sacrificing versatility and balance. These sticks are based on the classic 5A model, but are slightly longer (16.5 inches), thereby offering more reach, control, and impact — perfect for energetic playing styles such as rock, metal, and fusion. Made from durable American hickory, the Extreme 5A sticks guarantee sturdiness and a consistent feel, even during the toughest performances. The oval wood tip provides a warm, full sound on both cymbals and drums, and is suitable for all kinds of musical styles. The sticks feel solid in the hand and offer a natural grip thanks to the smooth, lacquered finish. Whether you are in the practice room or playing on stage, the Vic Firth Extreme 5A allows you to get more power out of every hit — while maintaining precision.
