Vic FIrth - American Classic® Drumsticks 7A - American Hickory - Wood Tip

These drumsticks were recommended by my son’s drum teacher. They are nice and lightweight, great quality, easy to grip and a good size. Happy with the purchase.

Bought for a 7 year old beginner drummer. These look like excellent quality. They live permanently in his school bag, but still look new several weeks later.

I play in a rock/metal band and I'm a very hard hitter. After years of using 2B or 5A sticks because they lasted well and put up with the abuse, I tried out these "for a laugh". I wasn't laughing long because although they felt like pencils to begin with, I could play that extra 5% faster because (plain, simple physics) they are lighter. The piston in an F1 racing engine is very light so it can go up and down at ridiculous speeds - same applies here. You can accelerate these sticks much faster and consequently they'll hit the head going faster for a given force than a heavier stick. It works.Now - there's no denying that these don't last as long as a pair of 2B's but in all honesty, I've broken those in less than an hour from new as well so I figured if these lasted 45 minutes into the set but allowed me to play faster licks, it was money well spent. Now I don't bother with the heavier sticks - I just find them cumbersome and just order these by the dozen and if one breaks, I reach for another. So no - these won't last as long as a heavier stick (duh!) but for the time that you do have them - you'll be able to have more dynamics and play that little bit faster and to me that is more important. Each to their own though!

Great drumsticks highly recommended

Great pair of light and short sticks. If you’re wanting a longer pair of light sticks, look at the Steve Jordan signature sticks - perfect for being a bit longer than this 7A sticks

These are lighter sticks suitable for learners, and were recommended by my 12 year old son's drum teacher. My son is very pleased with them, they definitely seem better than the unbranded sticks supplied with his snare drum kit. They feel good quality and my son uses them on his drum pad, electronic drums at home and acoustic drums at school. The price was reasonable so my son is happy to recommended them!

Brilliant sticks. Seem to out last others of had from other brands. Sticks were straight, well finished and have so far survived 6 2 hours gigs.

Purchased for Xmas present look good
