Vic Firth 5A
I’ve had these sticks for a couple of years. They have good workmanship (no chipping like my previous “plywood†sticks) and they have a good balance. These sticks are versatile, which is a good for me, as I play a variety of styles. Note that I do not play very hard with my sticks, so if you play a lot of hard rock or metal these sticks will wear out more quickly than mine. These sticks have a good balance, and play well. I prefer 7As for quick articulation, but that’s just personal preference. Good sticks at a good price.
