Vic Firth Nova 5A Nylon Tip

The Vic Firth Nova 5A Nylon Tip drumsticks are a solid all-round choice for drummers who want the classic 5A feel with added cymbal definition — all at a more accessible price point. Ideal for students, rehearsal rooms and regular practice, they deliver dependable performance without unnecessary fuss.

With the standard 5A diameter, these sticks strike a great balance between control and power, making them suitable for a wide range of playing styles. They feel comfortable and familiar in the hand, whether you’re working on grooves, fills or basic technique, and they adapt easily as your playing develops.

The nylon tip adds a brighter, more articulate attack on cymbals, giving clear stick definition on the ride and crisp response on hi-hats and crashes. It’s especially useful in louder settings or band rehearsals where cymbal clarity helps everything sit better in the mix, and it also offers more consistent tone over time compared to wood tips.

Part of Vic Firth’s Nova series, the 5A Nylon Tip sticks are designed to offer great value while retaining the core feel the brand is known for. They’re a popular choice for beginners, schools and players who want a reliable backup pair — and they often come up as a sensible recommendation in Musicmaker for everyday drumming needs.
