I like these sticks because they're a little lighter than regular (hickory) 5As. So they're a little quieter, and the sound is not as bright.
Get the legendary feel of the world's most popular drumstick with a completely different tonal response. The Vic Firth American Heritage 5A Drumsticks replicate the exact dimensions of the American Classic 5A, but swap the heavy hickory for lightweight, premium maple.
Because maple is a significantly less dense wood than hickory, the AH5A offers a much lighter feel in the hands with an airy, lightning-fast rebound. The softer wood also changes the way the teardrop tip interacts with bronze, pulling a darker, sweeter, and more delicate tone out of your ride cymbals.
