The Vic Firth American Classic 5A is, according to Vic Firth, the best-selling drumstick in the world: a 16 in hickory pair with a teardrop tip, sized and weighted to work in nearly any situation. If you do not know where to start, this is the benchmark.

What sets it apart
  • Versatile size and weight for every style
  • Teardrop tip for a rich cymbal sound
  • Dense, tough American hickory

The yardstick for every other model

When drummers call a stick "bigger than a 5A" or "lighter than a 5A", this is the one they mean. Its 0.565 in diameter and medium taper give it a neutral balance, neither tip-heavy nor elusive. Vic Firth turns it from dense hickory that flexes little and handles shock well, and cuts the neck back behind the tip so cymbals respond more.

Diameter. Vic Firth's 5B is 0.595 in and the 5A is 0.565 in, both 16 in long. The 5B brings more volume and durability; the 5A stays nimbler.
5A or 7A: which should I get?
The 7A is shorter (15.5 in) and thinner (0.54 in), built for a light touch. The 5A is the versatile choice when you play a bit of everything.
How long are Vic Firth 5A drumsticks?
16 in, or 40.64 cm, with a 0.565 in diameter.
