Vic Firth American Concept Freestyle 5A Drumsticks

I was on the search for a new stick. My favorite brand made changes and durability went to crap. I came across these at an event, the church's drummer was using them and they felt great in my hand. Weight, the added length, just felt right. I ordered a set for myself. After a week of using them, I decided they weren't for me, due to the extra added lenght, I have settled on the 8D Extreme model, but would still recommend these, especially if you want a little extra reach.

These are extremely fun to play with, I absolutely love them! Reminiscent of the Buddy Rich model sticks these are 17" and the balance point area is designed to be equally balanced and responsive all the way to the middle and a bit above that spot as well. Not heavy, very sturdy and agile. The length makes it easier do tricks, they're so much fun, I definitely recommend any drummer but a pair just to know that something this far out exists, lol. Thank you to the people at Vic Firth who make the sticks!!

Ever since I tried the questlove Vic Firth drumstick I really liked it. With the length that had it made playing feel easier and the same goes for these. Got them in a 5A but might be willing to try out a 7A too. Very nice chopsticks!

These instantly became my new favorite sticks. Vic Firth quality and the perfect size for me. We all know sticks are a matter of personal preference, so maybe try them out, yeah?

I like the extra inch on the standard 5A design that these have, definitely a go-to stick as of late. The "freestyle" line offers extended versions of standard stick sizes that feel great, especially for taller drummers

Quality pair of sticks. I’ve found there about an inch and a half longer than other drumsticks. Vic Firth is a good brand to buy.

Love Vic Firth sticks. I’ve been playing with them for years. Over the last 6 years I’ve used the AJ1 or AJ2. They are light and fast so I was interested in the freestyle 5a as to how they would feel being an inch longer. I’m not a fan of a standard 5a. These took some getting used to but I really like them. They are heavier but after playing with them a bit I found that extra weight and length to come in handy. I let the stick do more and the results are sweet. I feel like I upped my chops 10%.

I liked the thickness and the taper on this stick and the weight was good as well. These were good for me for my mesh kit but I am still experimenting with different sticks. I started with zildian 5a nylon and another zildian 5a with rubber on them and I like them as well. I recently ordered vic firth red tip 2b sticks and I like the balance on them firth sticks I like because you can get a fulcrum just about anywhere. Really no negative points to make on these

I’ve got a few pairs of sticks from different brands but have used Vic Firths before and like them. I bought a pair of the Dave Grohl signature stick by Zildjian and liked the extra length, then saw these and thought I’d give them a try. These for me are perfect, long with a longer than usual taper and 5a tip means they are perfect for my playing style. Genuinely great sticks, really great feel, balance and response. My new favourite sticks
