Vic FIrth - American Classic® Drumsticks 5A - American Hickory - Wood Tip

Product Information

This is fresh wood that hasn’t yet been dried. This allows Vic Firth to dry the wood themselves to achieve the desired result. S stands for 'street' are best suited for marching bands. They are very loud and designed to be heard from a distance when the band is marching. Don’t try to go all out with these; they aren’t built for heavy hitting and you’ll likely snap some of the dowels if you wail with them. Which, let’s be honest, unless you were planning on painting your drums – often isn’t what you were hoping for!

We take a look at 5 of our favourite budget-friendly drum sets that won’t break the bank. These are our top 5 best options. However, if you wanted your drumming to stand out more and be more obvious when playing with a band, you might choose to go with a brighter sound. It's always very tempting to skip all the beginner's steps and throw yourself in the deep end of the pool because you obviously want to play cool, impressive music, but even though it might seem like a slower process to go through all the basic stuff we assure you it's always worth it. After all, you can't build a skyscraper without a solid foundation!The coating also prevents your hands from sweating, so that will not be a problem anymore, which will be a great relief if you have problems with hand sweat. If you’re a beginner drummer that needs (or wants!) to make a lot of noise for jams, rehearsals or gigs, you’re going to need to hit hard.

Something to also take into consideration is when the music was composed. Nylon tips were invented in the 1950's and if the music was written before that point some would argue that it would be wrong to use such novelties. Of course as a beginner drummer, this is a great time to experiment and find out what works for you. Nylon - this tip produces the brightest sound and are the most durable. Great for added projection and cymbal definition. All the major drum brands have decent quality control (avoid anything cheap), but Vic Firth really sets the standard in the world of drumming.
