Ideal for rock, band and practice. Review: The best sticks, over 9000 stars. - Vic Firth sticks have consistently been the gold standard in drum sticks. They last more than twice as long as brands that are half the price. They are perfectly balanced and paired every single time. They pass the resonance test without fail. I've never been let down by Vic Firth sticks, not once. I've used other brands, and ended up back at Vic Firth over and over. Prices on these may be mid to high range, but the value is beyond the others. Playing isn't the same without a pair of Vic Firths. In 30 years of drumming for concert/marching/jazz/and rock bands, I've never found a better pair of sticks. For me, it's got to be Vic Firth.

They last more than twice as long as brands that are half the price. They are perfectly balanced and paired every single time. They pass the resonance test without fail. I've never been let down by Vic Firth sticks, not once. I've used other brands, and ended up back at Vic Firth over and over.

For me, it's got to be Vic Firth. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Real drum sticks ! *by J***I on October 3, 2026* Real drum sticks ! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.5 STARS - Perfect feel; a bit less durable than other sticks. *by K***N on February 8, 2026* 4.5 stars - VERY GOOD with a perfect feel and balance. I stopped using them because I notice they were wearing down and breaking a bit more than other brands (almost one stick breaking every other night of 3- or 4-hours variety work), but I am returning to them because they feel better. I wish the bead produced a bigger sound on the cymbal. The bead is good for jazz, but I wish they had a bigger sound for heavier styles. ## Frequently Bought Together - Vic Firth American Classic 5B - Vic Firth American Classic 5A Drum Sticks - Evans RealFeel - Drum Practice Pad - Drum Pad - Drummer Practice Pad - Gum Rubber & Neoprene, 2 Sided, 12 Inch --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/950745-american-classic-5b-drumsticks](https://www.desertcart.no/products/950745-american-classic-5b-drumsticks) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-10-21*
