DURABLE HICKORY ABSORBS SHOCK AND LASTS LONGER: Dense hickory absorbs shock on every hit with minimal flex to protect your hands and keep sticks playing longer through hard sessions

MATCHED PAIRS SO BOTH STICKS FEEL IDENTICAL: Each pair is computer-matched for consistent weight and density so both sticks feel identical and you never have to compensate mid-song

The Vic Firth American Classic Extreme 5B is the 5B built for more - extra reach, extra power, and the warm natural tone of a wood teardrop tip, in the trusted American Classic hickory construction. Half an inch longer than the standard 5B, the X5B gives 5B players added leverage and volume without any change to existing technique. The medium taper balances butt-end weight and tip-end response for controlled power through the full dynamic range. The deeply back-cut wood teardrop tip delivers warm, full tone across drumheads and enhanced articulation and resonance from cymbals. Dense hickory absorbs shock at the point of impact with minimal flex, protecting hands and extending stick life through high-volume playing.

Built for rock, band, and practice wherever power and projection are the priority. Each pair is computer-matched for consistent weight and density so both sticks feel identical from the first stroke.
