Vic Firth American Classic Extreme 5A
The Vic Firth American Classic Extreme 5A takes the ever-popular 5A stick and stretches it out, giving players more length, more leverage and extra punch without changing the familiar diameter. It’s the perfect option for drummers who love the balance of a standard 5A but want added reach and authority behind each stroke.
With its extended length, the Extreme 5A delivers increased power and projection, making backbeats hit harder and cymbal accents speak more clearly — all while keeping the same comfortable grip size players are used to. That extra reach also helps with wider setups, fast transitions around the kit and confident playing at higher volumes.
The teardrop-shaped wood tip provides a warm, full cymbal sound with clear ride definition and musical crashes. On drums, the response is solid and punchy, making this stick a strong choice for rock, pop, punk, worship and modern alternative styles where consistency and presence matter.
Crafted from premium hickory, the Extreme 5A offers excellent durability and shock absorption, helping reduce fatigue during longer rehearsals and gigs. It’s a popular step-up for players who want a little more stick without jumping to a heavier model.
If you’re after familiar feel with extra authority, the Vic Firth American Classic Extreme 5A Wood Tip delivers exactly that — dependable, powerful and easy to adapt to.
