The Vic Firth American Classic Extreme 5B with Vic Grip takes one of the most popular drumstick models ever made. With these sticks, you've got more reach, more power and a lot more control.
With an extra half inch of length and a slip-resistant Vic Grip finish, these sticks are a great choice if you like the feel of a standard 5B but want a little more leverage and confidence in your hands, especially during longer sessions or high-energy playing.
If you already like 5B sticks, these will feel instantly familiar, just with a bit more punch. The extra length gives you more reach around the kit, and the Vic Grip finish makes a noticeable difference when your hands start to sweat.

The added length gives you extra leverage and power, while the grip coating helps you stay in control. It's a simple tweak that can make a real difference in feel and performance.
