Vic Firth VF‑5BDG American Classic® 5B – DoubleGlaze
Enhanced Grip for Dry Hands with Classic 5B Power
The Vic Firth 5BDG brings the familiar weight, balance and durability of the iconic 5B, now treated with DoubleGlaze, a specialised lacquer formula designed to create a naturally tacky feel.
Perfect for drummers with dry hands, the DoubleGlaze coating adds extra mass and grip while allowing your hands to stay relaxed during long rehearsals, live sets or studio sessions.
