Vic Firth VF‑N5BNB 5BN Black with NOVA Imprint
5B Weight with Bright Nylon Attack and Bold Style
The Vic Firth NOVA 5BNB drumsticks combine the added power and control of a 5B profile with the clarity and durability of a nylon tip, finished in a sleek black lacquer with the NOVA imprint. Designed for drummers who need volume, definition and visual impact, these sticks are well suited to loud rehearsals, live performance and high‑energy playing styles.
Durable Performance at Exceptional Value
Made from quality hickory, NOVA sticks meet Vic Firth’s trusted standards for balance and response. Minor cosmetic variations allow them to be offered at an excellent price point without compromising playability. The nylon tip ensures brighter cymbal definition and longer life, while the black finish adds a strong stage presence.
