Vic Firth American Classic Extreme 5AN

Extended reach, classic feel and bright nylon articulation

The Vic Firth American Classic Extreme 5AN takes everything players love about a standard 5A and pushes it a step further. With the same familiar diameter as a 5A but a longer length, this stick delivers extra reach, leverage and power — now paired with the added clarity of a nylon tip.

That extra length gives your strokes more momentum, making backbeats feel stronger and cymbal accents cut through with ease. It’s especially useful for wider kit setups, energetic playing styles and situations where projection matters, all while keeping the grip feel instantly familiar.

The nylon tip adds a bright, articulate edge to cymbal work, producing clear definition on the ride and crisp attack on hi-hats and crashes. It’s a great choice for live playing where clarity helps your cymbals sit on top of a busy mix, or for drummers who prefer a more consistent tip sound over time.

Crafted from premium hickory, the Extreme 5AN balances durability with good shock absorption, helping reduce fatigue during long rehearsals and gigs. It’s a natural step for players who like the control of a 5A but want more reach and a sharper cymbal voice without jumping up to a heavier stick.
