American Classic 5B Nylon Drumsticks

Our classic 5B design but with a nylon tip for incredible clarity and articulation on cymbals. For the 5B player looking for a brighter sound and increased tip durability. Ideal for rock, band, and practice. Crafted from premium USA Hickory.

TRADITION AND VIC FIRTH STYLE

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.

The drumsticks are perfect. Amazon's packaging is comical, however.
