SKU:3A

DETAILS

Barrel tip produces bright, articulate cymbal sounds. Great for light rock and fusion. 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.

  • The barrel tip and shorter taper provide a balance for more aggressive playing
  • Produces a fat, punchy sound on toms and snares

THE stick for heavy hitters

"Ive bought just about every “standard sized” non-marching stick in the VF catalog and these by far hit the hardest. Excellent stick definition, phat rim shots, the best stick life span in the entire line. I play metalcore, so i need a stick that bangs, but is also light enough for fast fills. I will say this is not the lightest, fastest stick. With a very short taper and thicc barrel tip, the weight is forward from a regular grip, giving you a lot of leverage, but a rebound that is based on how much weight you put behind your strokes. I personally play them all the way at the butts and they hit so-very-hard and i love it."

Lots of "throw"

"I love their balance towards the front, which allows to hit harder with less effort. However, I'll never understand why the description says they're for "light rock and fusion". These are heavy hitters, for heavy music!"

Triple A stick

"I've been playing the A3 for a while now, mostly playing fast metal. The A3, with it's weight distribution in the front and big barrrel tip, gives you full power hits. The stick feels really great for groove playing, but can be heavy for fast drumming, like blasting. Because of it's thickness of 0.580 inch it sits perfectly between the 5A and 5B. So you get a full power hit, like a bigger stick (5B, 2B), but without the thickness or weight. Because of the short taper, this stick had very little flex, so rebound must come from the amount of power you lay in your stroke. They make you work a bit harder, but repay you even more with full sound. Great quality as always, try them if you like to lay it down."

Faithful sticks!!

"Being a drummer means finding the perfect drumsticks to work with. The 3A wood tip sticks fit me just perfectly, and the price is just right. I'll keep ordering more!"
