Vic Firth
Vic Firth American Classic Extreme 5B Hickory Drumsticks, Wood Tip
Model
X5B
Vic Firth American Classic Extreme 5B drumsticks: a 0.595 in 5B brought to 16 1/2 in for power and reach.
The Vic Firth American Classic Extreme 5B is a 0.595 in by 16 1/2 in stick: the 5B, with an extra half inch for power and reach. It is sold as a pair, with a wood teardrop tip.
What sets it apart
- 5B girth at 0.595 in
- 16 1/2 in: reach and leverage
- The 5B feel, kept intact
X5B or X5A: diameter decides
The two most requested Extreme models share the same 16 1/2 in length, the same teardrop and the same medium taper. What sets them apart is three hundredths of an inch: 0.595 in for the X5B, 0.565 in for the X5A. That gap is enough to put more mass behind every stroke. Vic Firth calls it a longer 5B that gains reach and leverage without changing the feel.
