Vic Firth’s Extreme 55A is a combination of a 5A and a 5B; a meaty stick with enough thickness for Metal music. They’re 16.5 long for extra volume, but still can be controlled. These sticks are very light with a hollow feel making them great for fast playing. The tear drop tip of the drumsticks delivers a pointed attack on cymbals along with a medium taper which feels great for Metal as well as all genres of music. The great overall balance and even weight makes these a great pick for metal drummers everywhere.Rating: 4.5/5
