Vic Firth
Vic Firth American Classic 7AN Drumsticks, Light Hickory, Nylon Tip
Model
7AN
Vic Firth American Classic 7AN sticks: the 7A with a nylon tip for a crystal-clear ride in light jazz and small groups.
The Vic Firth American Classic 7AN is the 7A with a nylon tip: short, slim and light, with a synthetic tip that gives cymbals crystal clarity. It is aimed at light jazz, small groups and fast playing.
What sets it apart
- Nylon teardrop tip, crystal-clear cymbals
- 15.5 in and 0.54 in, light touch
- Durable tip
Definition even at low volume
At low volume, a ride played with a small wood-tip stick can turn blurry. Nylon fixes that: each stroke keeps its outline, even when played with the fingers. The 7AN pairs that tip with the compact 7A format, which Vic Firth also recommends for moving quickly around the kit.
