Vic Firth American Classic 5B Vic Grip Slip-Resistant Drumsticks, Wood Tip
Vic Firth American Classic 5B Vic Grip drumsticks: the wood-tip 5B with a slip-resistant finish for a better hold.
The Vic Firth American Classic 5BVG is the classic wood-tip 5B coated in the slip-resistant Vic Grip finish for a better hold. You keep the 5B you know, with a grip that holds up better when your hands heat up.
What sets it apart
- Slip-resistant Vic Grip finish
- Classic 5B, wood tip
- 16 in by 0.595 in size
Keep your 5B, change your grip
Instead of wrapping tape around a stick that slips, you can start from a 5B that's already treated. On the 5BVG, Vic Firth applies the Vic Grip finish without touching the diameter, length or teardrop tip. The wood tip sounds warmer than the nylon version, the 5BNVG.
