Model
5BN
Vic Firth American Classic 5B Nylon drumsticks: the hickory 5B with a brighter, longer-lasting nylon tip.
The Vic Firth American Classic 5BN is the classic 5B with a nylon tip, for drummers who want a brighter sound and a longer-lasting tip. The measurements stay those of the 5B: 16 in and 0.595 in.
What sets it apart
- Brighter sound on cymbals
- More durable nylon tip
- 5B size: 16 in, 0.595 in
The 5B, only brighter
The nylon tip mainly changes how the ride and hi-hat respond: Vic Firth talks about added clarity and articulation. The body of the stick is the 5B many drummers already know, thicker than a 5A for durability, in American hickory. Vic Firth recommends it for rock, marching band and practice.
