The Vic Firth American Classic 5A Vic Grip is the hickory 5A with Vic Firth's anti-slip Vic Grip finish. Vic Firth offers it so you can play longer, harder and faster without worrying about dropping a stick.
What sets it apart
- Vic Grip anti-slip finish
- 5A size, wood teardrop tip
- Fewer dropped sticks
Confidence in your hand
When you are afraid of dropping a stick, you squeeze too hard, and a tense wrist plays slower and tires sooner. A finish that grips lets you keep a relaxed hold. That is the point of Vic Grip on the 5A: Vic Firth's best-selling stick, with a surface that stays put even as the night drags on.

Frequently asked questions
