Vic FirthAmerican Classic® Drumsticks 2B - American Hickory - Wood Tip

Got these to engrave on as a present for my teacher. Needed a bit more real estate than 5A sticks, so went for the 2B. Good beefy sticks.

I'm new to drumming {life long ambition} and finally at the ripe young age of 58 this 'old lady' is having a go! Problem lies in hands that have rock climbed for over 30 yrs and my left hand grip a little ropey....geddit? :)Advised to go for thicker ones {2B} after a few weeks of 5A's. These are perfect, accommodate my grip better and I'm finally getting the hang of stick control. Yeah! Highly recommend the Vic Friths.

Good 2B pair. I normally play with another pair of sticks but I needed a heavier model to "work out" my fingers and hands. It is good to practice your rudiments with a heavy pair of sticks. I got this pair pair to use on rudiment practice on my practice pad and they feel great. They are an original pair (one reviewer got a fake one apparently), they are evenly weighted and after a long trial the logo is still there and hasn't vanished as it would with the fake ones. Go for it if you want a heavy model (although there are heavier than this).

Bought for grandson and he loved them.

Great sticks. Have used promark for ages but went back to these particular F1 Vic Firth's after probably a 20 year gap. Great sounds. Bought 3 pair at once and all sound pretty much the same. Durable (so far; only been a week). Comfortable. Not much slip after a 3-hour rehearsal. If it carried on like this, these are my new go-to- stick.

Okay, I'm 16 have been playing for 6 years, and have been using these for the past 1 and a half years now.These sticks tend to last be 1-2 months, but I'm quite a hard player and play probably play 10 hours a week.They are slightly bigger than 7As and have quite a natural finish, they do have some but nothing like regal tips which are covered in varnish and get slippery in my mind. I never loose grip on these, they are probably reasonably light compared to other sticks, and the bounce is perfect.If you're about to buy new sticks just try these once they're wonderful.

I spent a long while looking for the right sticks after thinking that regular 5A's were to bulky. 7a's were the perfect weight but were noticeably shorter.I tried all sorts of signature sticks before coming across these 8DN's.Lighter and easier to use for quicker stuff than 7A's.Still give a good full sound almost matching the 5A levels.More durable than 7A's.Basically only use these now for all sorts from Blues and musicals, all the way to rock.

I'd bought some 8d sticks in Denmark Street having grown to hate the sd9s that a drum teacher recommended. I loved the slim profile and decent weight and length immediately and ordered two more pairs from Amazon. The Amazon sticks are not the same - I weighed them and they come in at 10g lighter per pair. I'll be going back to Denmark Street for some more good ones! The better pair weigh a fraction under 100g a pair.
