The Vic Firth American Classic 5A Dual Tone is a hickory 5A stick that carries a tough synthetic felt ball at the other end. Play one side like a regular stick, then flip it to swell a cymbal or round off the drums.

What sets it apart
  • Synthetic felt ball on the butt end
  • Wood teardrop tip on the stick side
  • Change sounds with a turn of the hand

Two tools in one hand

In a ballad or a concert piece, a mallet cymbal swell often lands in the middle of a passage played with sticks. Putting the sticks down, grabbing mallets and switching back is where the tempo tends to drift. With the Dual Tone, you just flip the stick. On the felt side, toms and snare also take on a warmer tone without the click of the tip.

Frequently asked questions
What is a dual tone drumstick?
A stick with two sounds: a wood tip on one end and a felt ball on the other. Vic Firth's version is a 5A with a synthetic felt ball on the butt end.
What is the felt ball for?
Cymbal swells and quick switches to warm drum sounds without changing tools.
Is it the same size as a 5A?
Same diameter (0.565 in), but slightly longer: 16 1/8 in including the felt ball, versus 16 in for the 5A.
