Vic Firth American Classic Extreme 55A Hickory Drumsticks, 16 1/2 in
Vic Firth American Classic Extreme 55A drumsticks: the 0.58 in 5A-5B hybrid stretched to 16 1/2 in, for more reach.
The Vic Firth American Classic Extreme 55A is the 55A, the hybrid between the 5A and 5B, lengthened by half an inch: 0.58 in over 16 1/2 in. You keep a diameter halfway between the two classics, with more leverage and reach.
What sets it apart
- 5A and 5B hybrid
- 16 1/2 in: half an inch more
- More leverage and reach
The in-between, only longer
The 55A settles a diameter dilemma: 0.58 in, between the 5A's 0.565 in and the 5B's 0.595 in. The Extreme version adds the missing dimension, length. Like every Extreme model in the American Classic line, it gains 1/2 in, for more reach and power. Teardrop tip, medium taper, lacquered American hickory.
