Key Features
The Vic Firth American Classic X55B Extreme Hickory Drumsticks, Wood Tip are a heavier alternative to the American Classic 5B drumstick - perfect for drummers seeking more weight and power. Featuring an increased shaft thickness and length, added leverage and power gives you a great overall feel. And, made by Vic Firth - you know you're getting your money's worth.
A medium taper produces a balanced rebound, faithfully executing your technique, whilst the wooden tip bring out the warmth of your drums, pronouncing the low-end. Made from a special hickory that is ideal for drumsticks, they are durable, reliable and musical. You can use them for months because they undergo a rigorous manufacturing process that goes above and beyond expectations. The ones that don't make it are used to heat the kiln.

The Vic Firth 5B is one of the best-selling Vic Firth drumsticks on the market. The Extreme X55B was designed for the countless drummers who love the 5B drumstick but desire more weight and power. Still as versatile as ever just like the original 5B.
American Classic Hickory Drumsticks are a combination of traditional and Vic Firth style. They show off bold designs and are made from hickory, which is a dense wood with little flex for a more pronounced sound. Hickory is also great at dealing with shock, making it extremely durable.
The Vic Firth drumsticks undergo a vigorous manufacturing process and testing stages to ensure each stick meets the Vic Firth quality standard. After approximately 16 steps of honing, refining, and finishing, the Vic Firth sticks are finally ready. No one else invests that much time and energy in creating the perfect pair of sticks.
