The American Classic 5B has long been one of the world’s most popular drumstick models. The American Classic line combines tradition and Vic Firth style. With bold designs, the Classics are turned from select hickory - a dense wood with little flex for a more pronounced sound. Hickory is also capable of withstanding a great deal of shock, making it highly durable. The tips are deeply back-cut for intensified cymbal response.
