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.
Description
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.
Lighter Weight, Sweeter Tone
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.
Features:
- Premium Maple: Lightweight wood provides enhanced flex and a faster rebound.
- Classic Profile: The exact same taper and grip size as the standard American Classic 5A.
- Tip Style: Teardrop wood tip for lush, dark cymbal articulation.
- Dimensions: 16" Length | .565" Diameter
