General
Vic Firth is world-renowned for its high-quality drumsticks. These AJ5 models are the thinnest sticks Vic Firth makes, with just a .490-inch diameter. They were designed for jazz drummers who want plenty of rebound on both drums and cymbals, which these sticks have, due to their long taper. Subtly playing is also very possible thanks to the small teardrop tip, which allows for clear ghost notes and cymbal patterns. Finally, they're made of the popular and durable hickory wood, which gives this pair of thin, accurate jazz drum sticks excellent durability.

Erg fijne drumstokken om je techniek mee te oefenen.
Om mee te drummen vind ik ze zelf wel iets te dun.

Naar mijn mening de beste stokken voor jazz en klassieke muziek. Ook voor plekken waar je minder hard moet drummen zijn ze handig.

Deze stokken zijn perfect voor jazz en andere lichte muziek waar je wat zachter wil spelen. Ze hebben ook een goeie rebound en zijn kwalitatief! Ze maken ook de klank van cymbalen veel mooier en helderder.

Een heerlijke lichte stok met een prima cymbal sound en een zeer goede grip.
Mijn favoriet voor het lichtere werk zoals jazz en spelen op laag volume.

Een paar jaar geleden heb ik deze gekocht omdat het de dunste drumstokken waren die ik kon vinden. Perfect voor een subtiele speelstijl. Erg veel plezier van gehad. Tip: als je je rudiments oefent met zware stokken (bijvoorbeeld SD2 Bolero) en daarna overstapt op deze dunne stokken zul je merken dat je ineens heel soepel en snel kan spelen! Inmiddels ben ik toch overgestapt op de AJ3 voor iets meer grip (iets dikkere stok) en omdat ik de klank daarvan op mijn cymbals iets mooier vond.

Prima voor in een kerk iets minder body maar nogsteeds de "stick sound"
Vic Firth expanded its already impressive assortment with four remarkable pairs of drumsticks. These are signature sticks for a number of very different drummers: Keith Moon (The Who), Ray Luzier (Korn), Jen Ledger (Skillet) en Chris Coleman (Stevie Wonder, Prince and Christina Aguilera, among others). Of course, all these sticks are made to suit their individual preferences.
Slippery drumsticks are a thing of the past thanks to the new ActiveGrip by Promark. Thanks to a special layer of lacquer, the grip gets better when the temperature of your hands rises. Handy!
ProMark is launching a great offer just in time for the holidays to promote their Active Grip drum sticks. When you purchase a Promo Pack, consisting of three pairs of Select Balance Rebound 5A drum sticks, you'll get a pair of Active Grip Rebound 5A sticks for free! This offer is valid for a limited time only so act now!
Nothing beats the feel of playing with a pair of hard-wearing wooden drumsticks. If you know what we're talking about here, you probably don't go anywhere near plastic sticks and, just like all hard-core drummers, you take cleaning up all of those tiny chips of wood after an intense session for granted. Heads up if that's you, because Promark have masterfully mixed that trusty feel of wood with extreme durability to craft their FireGrain drumsticks.
Sad news from the United States: Everett 'Vic' Firth, founder of the renowned Vic Firth brand of drumsticks, has passed away at age 85. This was announced on the Vic Firth Company's web site on July 27th, 2015. Everett Firth was a pioneer in the world of drumsticks and mallets, and ever since the 1960s he's been setting the bar for the companies that followed.
