DETAILS
Our classic 5A design, featuring a proportionately perfect barrel shaped tip. An impeccably balanced stick creating supreme clarity with beautiful tone.
"Creating barrel tipped versions of our two most popular models was not a one-size-fits-all endeavor," states Vic Firth Director of Education and Product Development, Neil Larrivee. "The design of each tip was considered individually – modifying the tear drop shape to create something appropriate and musical for each model."
While the tips of these two models are new, you can still count on the same uncompromising quality that has made the American Classic 5A and 5B the world's most popular models! Crafted from select hickory for a pronounced sound and long lasting durability, they are guaranteed straight, weight matched and tone paired - truly the Perfect Pair™!

"I thought I liked the regular 5A sticks the most, and bought them for years and years. Then one day at Guitar Center I came across these and decided to give them a try. These sticks pulled me out of my creative rut and gave me the sound and feel I never knew was perfect for me and my style. The way they sound on my ride is just god-tier!"
— Tate (5/5)
"I thought 5A was my favorite for years. Then I tried the barrel tip. Now, I can't go back. The tip is so perfect for greater definition and punch. I love these sticks!"
— Hyacinthus (5/5)
"I've tried many sticks over the last 30 yrs. These are my new favorite. I always loved the American classic but prefer a barrel, the Steve Gadd's are very nice but short. These are just perfect. Nice attack. Nice cymbal response. ‘��¼"
— Kenny (5/5)
"I got a bonus pair of 5A barrel tips with a three pack of standard tip 5As,which I normally use.I think I prefer the barrel tip for some things I play because of its greater definition and focus on hi hat and ride cymbal.Very good handling stick and nicely balanced.Nice wood grain and a real sound of quality when you hit them together.A clear tone is an indicator of good wood that has been carefully selected and dried perfectly!"
— Rotgut (5/5)
"This stick gives me great balance and durability. And I love the stick definition I get from the ride it fit right in yo my style of music"
