Affectionately referred to as the diet 5A, the 85A combines the dimensions of an 8D and 5A for a perfectly balanced stick with a lighter touch.

The American Classic line combines tradition and Vic Firth style. With bold designs, the Classics are turned from select hickory — a dense wood with little flex for a more pronounced sound. Hickory is also capable of withstanding a great deal of shock, making it highly durable. The tips are deeply back-cut for intensified cymbal response.

Features

  • A hybrid of the 8D and 5A dimensions
  • Ideal for jazz and fusion playing and getting around the kit effortlessly
