Vic Firth American Classic 7A

The light stick

The 7A is thinner and lighter than a 5A, favoured for jazz, brush-adjacent playing, and any situation where the drums are quieter than the room.

    Hickory, maple, and oak sticks by model number; wire and nylon brushes; and the yarn, cord, and felt mallets that concert percussion is played with.

Made by

  • Vic Firth

    Vic Firth was principal timpanist of the Boston Symphony and started making mallets because he could not buy what he wanted. The company he built became the largest drumstick maker in the world, with the pair-matching-by-weight-and-pitch process as its selling point and the American Classic 5A as its default.
