<p id="prod_description">The American Classic® 5B has long been one of the world’s most popular drumstick models. The American Classic® line combines tradition and Vic Firth style. With bold designs, the Classics are turned from select hickory — a dense wood with little flex for a more pronounced sound. Hickory is also capable of withstanding a great deal of shock, making it highly durable. The tips are deeply back-cut for intensified cymbal response.<br /><br />Features:</p><ul><li>Ideal for rock, band, and practice</li><li>Tear drop tip</li></ul>
