Vic Firth 5BN American Classic® Nylon

Vic Firth 5BN American Classic – Hickory Drumsticks with Nylon Tip

The Vic Firth 5BN is a staple of the American Classic lineup, trusted by drummers at every level. Built from carefully selected American hickory, these sticks provide the rebound response, balance, and durability that working drummers rely on night after night.

Key Features

• 5BN model from the American Classic series
• 5B sizing: slightly fuller taper than the 5A for added power and projection
• American hickory shaft for a lively feel and long-lasting resilience
• Nylon tip produces a bright, articulate sound on cymbales and hi-hats
• Consistent weight and diameter matching across every pair
• Sold as a matched pair

Ideal For

The 5BN suits drummers who want clear cymbal definition in amplified settings — rock, pop, funk, and fusion all benefit from the nylon tip's brightness cutting through the mix. These sticks also hold up well in heavy practice environments, making them a practical everyday workhorse whether you're gigging, rehearsing, or in the studio.
