      I use the X5AN for a few reasons. Once, i believe that nylon sticks attack the cymbal better and produce a better sound (when on at bar gigs, smaller venues, not a lot of mics on the kit). The reason for the "X" is because I tend to sit far back from the snare and the rest of the kit so any additional length is much appreciated.

      If you are a heavy hitter, i would suggest either the 55A/ X55a (NEW) or the 5B/X5B either wood or nylon tip!
      My personal favorite stick is the X55A! it gives you that same sound, but a little more umph!
      Vic Firth does make the "Best" sticks on the market (my opinion) I love Vic Firth sticks and I will not play any other brand!

      These sticks aren't very durable. I had them for a day and I went through a pair already. I don't know if it's me or the sticks but if your thinking about buying these sticks don't. I hit my cymbals alot and they snap right in half.

          My son is new to the band at school and he need sticks for the suspended cymbal that wouldn't sound so tinny. You all had just what he needed and it arrived in time for him to be able to practice before the spring concert. Thanks!!

            Comments about Vic Firth American Classic Extreme Drumsticks:

            I bought these sticks for my son as a Christmas gift, he's a drummer by profession. He told me that he would be ordering these again because he was very pleased. The thing that impressed me the most was the help I received when ordering. The ones I originally wanted were backordered- so the salesgirl put me on hold to locate another salesperson who is a drummer,he recommended a different pair that turned out to be perfect. So, not only would my son recommend these particular sticks, I am so pleased with the help I received while ordering! Thank you MF

                    I love these sticks. I got the X5BN and the sound, especially on the snare, have improved 10x! So comfortable and the length gives a better reach to my ride and my 14" crash. And i can shift over on the toms easier and smoother. Well worth the price!

                        that little bit of extra length adds big time. Try these sticks!

                        If you're on a budget and looking for a low-cost, high quality drumstick pair. Get these ones! I ordered the Nylon X5B's
                        They're drumsticks. No features to them
                        Well crafted drumsticks
                        For the low price, these drumsticks can take quite a beating. been using them for months and no signs of cracking has appeared on either drumstick.
