These Vic Firth X5B Extreme Hickory Drum Sticks are fatter and heavier sticks made for heavy impact work, such as rock or marching bands. They're slightly longer than standard 5B sticks, giving you more reach and allow for a more energetic hit.
Made from selected Hickory, this dense wood that has some flex and a clear cut sound. It's also capable of taking a huge amount of shock, making it great for hard hitting drummers. These X5B sized sticks feature a tear drop tip that makes for rich cymbal sounds.
Each pair of American Classic drumsticks have been weight and tone matched to give you the most even sticks possible.
