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.

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

  • Length: 16” | 40.64cm Family: American Classic Wood Type: Hickory
  • Taper: Medium ?Taper affects the feel and balance of a stick. A long taper produces a back-heavy feel with more flex and a faster response. A short taper provides more power and durability with a front-heavy feel. A medium taper gives you the best balance between the butt and the tip.
