Hickory
Hickory is a hard and strong type of wood that is widely used for drumsticks. The material absorbs shocks well and feels familiar in the hand while playing. This makes hickory a solid choice for intensive use during lessons, rehearsals, performances, and recordings. 

American Classic
The Vic Firth American Classic series combines traditional craftsmanship with the recognizable Vic Firth style. The drumsticks are made from carefully selected hickory wood, which, thanks to its high density and limited flexibility, produces a powerful, clear sound. Furthermore, hickory is known for its excellent shock resistance and long lifespan.
