Yes, they are quite good for rock music! The only complaint I have with them is because of their paint finish it makes them very slippery when your palms get sweaty.
I've played all brands, models and sizes of sticks since the 1960's. My favorite is the Vic Firth wood tip hickory stick in 16" length. Within this category there are a lot to choose from which I group according to the the venue I play to match the cymbal sets I use. I'm a jazz player.
My favorite stick at the moment is the MJC1, I bought a pair some time ago and it's still lasting! Haven't found them in stores in a while so I'm back to the 55A and 5A for the most part.
My stick of choice is the ROCK model. A 2B stick with longer length for leverage and power, short taper for durability and projection and a beefy oval tip for loud, powerful and full sound on the drums and cymbals.
+vicfirthdrumsticks *Having broken Ludwig®/Conn-Selmer 3S's way short of expected lifetime in the '80's,* I've developed a penchant for marching sticks, preferrably 17" length, at the kit; for my own TAMA®/Hoshino® poplarbuilts, I chose the vfSRHN Ralph Hardimon CORPSMASTER® and am working on a full bag of EVANS®/D'Addario® heads: EMAD Heavyweight kick batter, EC2S Frost batters (I _really_ want Heavyweight Reverse Dot Coateds across the toms, but Evans only makes 12", 13" and 14", and I've 8" to 16" even sizes) and G14 resonants (the stock 7 mil heads don't hold my target pitches) on toms, and HD Coated staccato batter and Hazy 300 reso on snare. OtOH, the YAMAHA® RY2T4 kit and MSD12AF center drum at OMS Japanese Christian Church (Walnut Creek, CA, USA) have a history of overprojection and I've chosen ONYX batters and G14 resonants for toms for the next rehead and plan on testing the vfSAT2 Ahmir "?uestlove" Thomson Natural model.
I've notices that there is a big difference in thickness between the 5A and 5B ? 1/4 of an inch in circumference, you could even see it, is there sticks that are in-between these two ? thanks
There's a couple of options: 1. 55A 2. George Kollias sig. 3. Jen Ledger sig. 4. Charlie Watte sig. 5. Steve White sig. 6. John Dolmayan sig. 7. Matt Cameron sig. 8. Matt Greiner sig. (Nude finnish) 9. 3A
BY3X 3800 for sure, definitely not for everybody BUT Vic Firth does make the ?uestlove stick without the grip. Check it out!: vicfirth.zildjian.com/signature-series-ahmir-questlove-thompson-clear-finish.html
I've been playing punknrock for a while and I've actually come to love the Buddy Rich signature sticks. They're beefy yet highly mobil.

I have both Vic Firth and Wincent, but I like Vic Firth more. The feel is superior. Good Job Vic Firth 🇺🇸
Vic Firth Wood Tip 5A..Done! 😊
I've been playing the drums since May of 2024 and I've stuck with VF 5As the entire time. In fact I'm still on my original pair!
American Heritage (maple) 5B is the best feeling and sounding stick I have ever played in my 40+ years of playing.
Love Vic Firth Sticks! That Snare Drum In the intro though!! 😍
I love Vic firth and all of the options they offer!
I just love VIC FIRTH stuffs.

I use the 2B, I did use Thomas Lang`s sig stick and it felt great in my hands but was a bit too loud (for my band mates, lol)
Love Vic Firth sticks. Well explained

What would work the best for a alesis electronic drumkit ? For practice in an apartment...
Why can't I purchase the G.Harrison
Signature model without the grip material? I'm sick & tired of my hands turning blue from sweat.
Great info, great sticks.
Do you make a vic grip 5a or 5b with nylon tips ?
I'm a beginner and I'm using the Metal N
Las mejores baquetas del mundo y punto final.
I personally run metal n’s. Slightly more reach but the same pop as a 2b
super helpful, ty

2. George Kollias sig.
3. Jen Ledger sig.
4. Charlie Watte sig.
5. Steve White sig.
6. John Dolmayan sig.
7. Matt Cameron sig.
8. Matt Greiner sig. (Nude finnish)

I had a Vic Firth nylon tipped 7A American Classic and it is quite strong. However, nylon tip is not a good choice as it pops off.
5B LACQUER FREE FOR ME !!!!!!!!
Anyone know where to get size 2A drumsticks? Can't find them anywhere.... :(
Doesn't exists, sorry. You might be thinking about 2B?
That was a quick gloss over. Would have preferred more detail.
All I need is a 5A
questlove sticks are almost perfect...just need them with a nylon tip....
kodiak wild yeah but i dont like the stick grip
@@byroncapalot3376 i'm not normally a stick dropper, but i still like that no slip grip.
BY3X 3800 for sure, definitely not for everybody BUT Vic Firth does make the ?uestlove stick without the grip. Check it out!: vicfirth.zildjian.com/signature-series-ahmir-questlove-thompson-clear-finish.html
I want the Aaron Spears sticks back 😫
Matt garskas Vic Firth signature stick is pretty much that same stick I think
When you pick up a pair of Vic Firth 5A sticks, you’ll never wanna put them down. Ask me how I know?
no, not asking 😂
how about the freestyle? I love the length of my 7a
Wizdumb the Freestyle is great!!! I love the 5A Freestyle sticks. They give you that extra length and reach
@@davidmcaninch4714 awesome I think I need to try a pair asap
