Vic Grip Coating Prevents Slippage

Drummers can play longer, harder and faster thanks to the anti-slip Vic Grip finish. The high-friction coating provides an enhanced grip, even when hands become damp with sweat. The result is fewer dropped sticks and more confidence during intensive playing.

Premium Hickory Construction for Superior Sound

Crafted from select hickory, a dense, rigid wood, these 5B sticks produce a full range of articulate tones from drums and cymbals. The wood's natural hardness also provides durability and longevity. Deeply back-cut tips further enhance cymbal response.
