General
If you're devoted to your 5A or 5B sticks but want to inject more power into your playing, this pair of Vic Firth Extreme X55A drumsticks are made to fill the gap. The standard 55As are a hybrid model that combine the 5A and 5B stick and the X55A edition have been made a touch longer. This extra length gives this pair of Extremes more leverage, resulting in increased kinetic energy when compared to that of the standard versions, and the effect is immediately noticeable in both feel and sound.

Na tientallen jaren geland op deze. Extra lange 5B's (misschien ergens tussen 5A en 5B in, maar ik beschouw ze als 5B door gewicht denk ik) voor mensen met korte armpjes. (Grappie tuurlijk)
Zoals eerder vermeld, graag meer in voorraad nemen. Ze zijn vaak op.

Deze stokken zijn perfect. Een tikje dikker dan gewone 5a en net zo lang als een 5a extreme maar op een of andere manier rolt alles beter met deze stokken. Graag meer op voorraad nemen, ook graag in bundels van 5 paar!

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.
