      I like the Vic Firth 1As a lot.
      Before these, I was using the Vater 1As, which are generally awesome sticks. After too many curvy Vater "bananas" though, I needed something else with an extra long length and medium-ish heft. The Vic Firths are a good substitute. The relatively bulbous taper wears very well, the tips don't chip as much, and they're consistantly straight. I use them for everything. :)

      Vic firth is a great brand they have amazing quality sticks no matter what size you use, i have had a pair of these sticks for weeks now, i am a hardcore player and haven't even broken the 1 pair I have. And I ordered another pair just in case! Worth every penny, i am going to buy another pair tomorrow too! I recommend these sticks to any drummer from first day of being a drummer to a player of 20 years! The only pair i will use.

        Comments about Vic Firth American Classic Hickory Drumsticks:

        I absolutley love these sticks! They seem to be copies of the Tommy Lee Signature Series from many years ago. These sticks are longer than most at 17 inches. The diameter feels like a 2B. They hold up very well for me even with my rimshot backbeat style of playing. Thanks to Musician's Friend for the excellent service!

            These sticks are just amazing! I would recomend these to anybody. Sadly, I recently bought a pair. I had only used them twice. And within the next 2 days, the stick broke in half. Other than that, these sticks have never let me down!

                      I personally use the 55A model. The sticks provide the versatility of a regular 5A and the attack of a pair of 5B sticks. These are the perfect sticks for me personally. I would recommend these sticks to anyone in any model be it the lightest sticks to the sticks suited for heavier styles.

                      I have always been a fan of the nylon tips, because they sound very cool on my ride cymbal, and they seem to last much longer than traditional wood tips. These sticks are cheap, they don't seem to warp easily, and feel good in your hands.

                            I bought 3A and I love it. The cymbal sounds are a lot more sharper and articulate and the toms sounds a lot warmer. The wood feels soft in your hand and is comfortable to hold.

                            Comments about Vic Firth American Classic Hickory Drumsticks:

                            I've been using 7an for quite some time, but needed lighter sticks. I bought 5an believing that the lesser numerial value implied a lighter stick, which isn't the case. 5an is slightly thicker and heavier than a 7an. This should be understood before purchase. No negative comment as to quality.
