Description
The Vic Firth American Classic X5B is the extreme version of the well-known 5B, built for drummers who want the familiar feel of a 5B but with added length and reach. It measures 16 1/2″ long with a .595″ diameter, giving you a bit more stick to work with on and off the kit.
- Length: 16 1/2″
- Diameter: .595″
- Turned from select hickory
- Wood tip
Every stick in the American Classic series is crafted from select hickory, chosen for its density and minimal flex. That combination translates into a fuller, more pronounced tone and a stick that can absorb serious impact without breaking down quickly, so you get durability along with sound.
The wood tip on the X5B is deeply back-cut, a detail that sharpens cymbal articulation and gives your strokes a crisper, more defined response. Whether you’re leaning into a heavier backbeat or need extra reach across the kit, this pair delivers the balance of control and power the American Classic line is known for.
Sold as a single pair, the X5B fits naturally into any setup where a standard 5B feels a touch short, without changing the response and feel you already know.
