Vic Firth VF-55A American Classic® 55A Drumsticks
The Perfect Middle Ground Between 5A and 5B
Sitting precisely between two of Vic Firth’s most popular sizes, the American Classic® 55A is an ideal "in-between" stick for drummers who want more weight than a 5A without stepping up to the heft of a 5B.
Crafted from select hickory for durability and shock absorption, the 55A offers a wonderfully balanced feel suitable for a broad range of musical styles.
Versatile Tone and Comfortable Control
With its medium taper and teardrop wood tip, the 55A produces warm drum tones and articulate cymbal definition. The lacquer finish provides a familiar, natural grip, making this stick a reliable choice for everyday rehearsals, live shows and sessions. If you’ve ever wished for a "5A-and-a-half," this is the one.
