Vic Firth 5ADT Dual Tone

These sticks feel like regular 5A's and play like them on the tip side.
But when it comes to the felt mallet side, I have used them many times to orchestrate in a variety of musical situations. They are very light and easy to feel the connection of the cymbal.
I love these Dual Tone sticks as they provide a very good balance
in stick weight and playability.
Vic Firth made a really interesting type of mallet with this concept.

This is a great stick! A bit pricey, but so cool to be able to quickly change felt sound to stick sound and back whether on cymbals or drums. I only wish these were available as 5B model too.

I like the weight of the felt. It is very easy to play with standard tip end and quickly change position to use felt tip. Overall the stick is built well and felt size is accurate. It sounds really nice ,you'll hear!

I would recommend this product to everyone!

Why have mallets and sticks when you have dual tone?! This saved me a lot of times in gigs where you need some wash and more sensible tom work. Very easy to use both felt end and stick !

I've bought these drumsticks just to try them out without much of the expectation but they became one of my favorites! I found myself using the dual tone drumsticks way more when I thought I would and the durability is good too.

These have been great to welcome me to the world of mallets

A perfect pair of Vics, but a little bit expensive to play all the time. Use only when yoy needt play with sticks and mallets. Do its job perfectly.
