Vic Firth 7AN American Classic Hickory

Love these! It feels like you can play with them forever, they last really well and even when it's starting to fall apart it keep going.. (Although by that time most of us would consider buying new ones!)

Pros:
-they feel great
-they are well balanced
-great value for money

Cons:
-not as cheap as other sticks

Conclusion:
In the end you get what you pay for. Their good! Just pick up a pair try them out and see how they feel. You can't really go wrong with these!

Cheers!

When I buy a drumstick I try to keep an eye on how many hours the stick can provide before its unusable. Vic Firth have the reputation for being a great stick manufacturer but I noticed for myself that they do last longer and feel better. the evidence is in the playing 10 shows on one pair of sticks. When you play for a living, you earn your money and you dont want to spend on sticks for every single gig. Ive paid for cheaper sticks and it doesn't pay in the long run. my advice is try lots of brands, lots of price points and then pick for yourself.

I have been using this drum stick for years and it has never failed me. I have used it for many different styles of music ranging from melodic death metal, hardcore punk, pop music and even playing in a worship band in church! The drumstick sounds amazing and has amazing response and is great for doing ghost notes.

"The" stick to use with an electronic drum kit. While they lack the weight of basic 5A:s, they bounce just as well thanks to the nylon head, and the lesser mass makes your heads last a certain percentage of hits longer as they receive a less of an impact.

They are the most expensive ones in the category, yes, but I've used the same pair of sticks for 4 years, so the price of one of drumming comes down to mere cents. Beat that.

Das holz ist super! Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit ihnen. Ich kann si empfehlen. : )

I just searched for a not heavy drum sticks to my roland td 15 v drums and i finnaly found the real deal. No more pain and headaches while playing on my roland v drum set.

Great quality and nice price. Recommended !!!

Excellent sticks and price, real nice ping on the ride. I really enjoy the feel of the sticks, great weight and response.

Good grip, great quality.

Lovely drumsticks, good sound, easy to use and good value for money!!

I really liked these sticks at the first try. They have a nice solid quality feel to them and seem perfectly matched to my hands and grip.

The price at Thomann has risen above my local stockists so that will influence my decision on where to source the next few pairs.
