The Vic Firth American Classic Extreme X5A Wood Tip Drumstick is designed for players who prefer the familiar feel of a 5A stick but want added reach, leverage, and power. The Extreme series features an additional ½-inch of length compared to standard 5A sticks, helping drummers generate stronger projection and comfortably reach across larger drum kits.

Crafted from premium USA hickory, this drumstick delivers excellent durability, natural balance, and strong shock absorption, making it suitable for rehearsals, studio work, and live performance. The wood tear-drop tip produces warm, articulate cymbal tones with balanced attack and response. A medium taper provides a controlled rebound and consistent feel, offering versatility across multiple musical styles.
