Vic Firth American Classic Metal Long Hickory Drumsticks, Wood Tip
The Vic Firth American Classic Metal is a long, thick stick, 17 in by 0.635 in, built for aggressive playing. Its length adds reach; its diameter and short taper add power.
What sets it apart
- 17 in long, 0.635 in
- Short taper, front-weighted

Reach and power
A 17 in stick reaches further without leaning in, a plus on a big kit. Vic Firth pairs it with a short taper, which it says brings power and durability and shifts the weight forward. Metal is the model's name: Vic Firth presents it for aggressive playing without tying it to one style.
