DETAILS

Because every drummer's body chemistry is unique, one size doesn't fit all when it comes to finding a way to improve grip. Vic Firth's American Classic DoubleGlaze sticks are designed to offer a new tactile experiences for the 5A and 5B player. Together with our classic clear lacquer, VicGrip and PureGrit, the DoubleGlaze option offers players even more possibilities to find their own perfect feel.

The American Classic DoubleGlaze sticks are coated with a specialized lacquer formula which creates a characteristically tacky feel. Players with especially dry hands will appreciate the enhanced lacquered surface because it allows them to relax their grip on the stick. The thick DoubleGlaze coating also adds a bit of mass to the stick for a solid feel.

My "Signature" Sticks

"I used another line since 1993, because of their characteristic lacquered sticks. They were the only ones I could just grab out of my sticks bag and play. In recent years their production has been inconsistent unstable, fortunately as I needed new stick I came across the Doubleglaze line at Vic Firth. Doubleglaze has that famaliar feel, but what's better, ist that everything about the Vic Firth 5B is BETTER than what I had been using. Everything about the Firth 5Bs design seems custom manufactured for me. The diameter is absolutely perfect. The balance is perfect. The rebound is perfect, and the sound the tips have on my drums and cymbals is. . . . Perfect! It's as if I have my own signature stick in the Vic Firth 5B Doubleglaze. Thank you Vic Firth for these precious sticks. I also use the 5A Doubleglaze a lot, as they're readily available at Guitar Center."

My favorite sticks I've used BY FAR

"With other gripped sticks I've found my hands get torn up, that's not the case with these! The double glaze adds the perfect amount of grip & feel, i recommend them to new & experienced drummers!"
