DETAILS

• A 5B profile with a barrel-shaped tip.
  • The reduced surface area of the tip provides a more focused cymbal sound while retaining great playability and versatility.
• Vic Firth Director of Education and Product Development, Neil Larrivee, states, "Creating barrel tipped versions of our two most popular models was not a one-size-fits-all endeavor."
  • "The design of each tip was considered individually - modifying the tear drop shape to create something appropriate and musical for each model."
• While the tips of these two models are new, they maintain the same uncompromising quality that has made the American Classic 5A and 5B the world's most popular models!
  • Crafted from select hickory for a pronounced sound and long-lasting durability, they are guaranteed straight, weight matched, and tone paired - truly the Perfect Pair™!
