Vic FirthAmerican Classic Extreme 5AN - Nylon Tip

These are recommended for use on mesh style electric kits, which is why I bought them. They also have much less lacquer or varnish on them so they are gripper than the wood tip ones I tried previously.

Para ser mi primera vez usando Vic Firth, estoy satisfecha con la calidad de las baquetas, un poco más largas de la medida tradicional, esta gama es ligera sin embargo hace la diferencia. No puedo decir sobre la durabilidad ya que las uso para un practice pad y batería eléctrica, hasta ahora siguen en perfecto estado.Sin duda yo las recomiendo.

But it fits well in hands and the feel is great.

These are by far the best sticks I’ve tried. Before these, I used the Promark 747s. I have also used Vater, Regal Tip, Ahead, and Zildjian sticks in the past, and these are the best by far! These have the length, balance, and forgiveness that the 747s used to have before they changed manufacturing process. These usually last me 10 hours of play. In the pictures, you can see that I play the rim a good bit, and they they last long enough for the butt to get seasoned with hand oils. Promarks simply would not last that long- they usually failed at the neck or tip region before I could break them in. The usual place these sticks fail are at the shoulder after extensive abuse. The acorn tips (I prefer the brightness of nylon) give nice warmth, definition, and feel for nice articulate sticking. The longer length (roughly 16-1/2”) give more range options for rim shots and shoulder strikes and provide better balance and feel. No stick is “perfect”- but these are pretty darn close.

Los adquirí para regalar a un sobrino que ha empezado a dar clases de batería, el cual tiene nueve años y está encantado con ellos, pues le han gustado mucho y dice su madre que son resistentes, pues otros que había tenido anteriormente se le rompieron a los pocos días. Muy buena relación calidad precio.
