Vic FIrth - American Classic® Drumsticks 7A - American Hickory - Wood Tip

Great drumsticks highly recommended

Brilliant sticks. Seem to out last others of had from other brands. Sticks were straight, well finished and have so far survived 6 2 hours gigs.

These drumsticks were recommended by my son’s drum teacher. They are nice and lightweight, great quality, easy to grip and a good size. Happy with the purchase.

I play in a rock/metal band and I'm a very hard hitter. After years of using 2B or 5A sticks because they lasted well and put up with the abuse, I tried out these "for a laugh". I wasn't laughing long because although they felt like pencils to begin with, I could play that extra 5% faster because (plain, simple physics) they are lighter. The piston in an F1 racing engine is very light so it can go up and down at ridiculous speeds - same applies here. You can accelerate these sticks much faster and consequently they'll hit the head going faster for a given force than a heavier stick. It works.Now - there's no denying that these don't last as long as a pair of 2B's but in all honesty, I've broken those in less than an hour from new as well so I figured if these lasted 45 minutes into the set but allowed me to play faster licks, it was money well spent. Now I don't bother with the heavier sticks - I just find them cumbersome and just order these by the dozen and if one breaks, I reach for another. So no - these won't last as long as a heavier stick (duh!) but for the time that you do have them - you'll be able to have more dynamics and play that little bit faster and to me that is more important. Each to their own though!

Great pair of light and short sticks. If you’re wanting a longer pair of light sticks, look at the Steve Jordan signature sticks - perfect for being a bit longer than this 7A sticks

Bought for a 7 year old beginner drummer. These look like excellent quality. They live permanently in his school bag, but still look new several weeks later.

These sticks are comfortable to use, cheap for a good pear and quite tough (if you use them right.) obviously the start wearing away but all sticks do that but these will last much longer, These sticks in turn I would recommend to all drummers who are looking for reliability in playing and drummers who don't bash their drum kits like a baseball bat to a car window.I definitely recommend them as they are a well known brand and very trustworthy on their make.

Unless you have powerful wrists and sausage fingers, stick with the 7A or 7AN. They are slightly shorter and a smaller diameter than the 5A and being lighter, they are easier to flick around the snare and hat so you get a lighter touch and sharper response as a result. The flip side is that they are a little less robust than the 5A so I tend to break them fairly quickly - not so much because of hitting harder but simply doing more work because they are easier to manipulate. I have tried others and always come back to these.
