### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great sticks

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Vic Firth 5B Extremes are my new favorite Drumsticks!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of my favorite Vic Firth sticks
*by K***L on November 27, 2013*

These are one of my favorite sticks because of the grip and the length. The relatively new Vic Firth Extreme drumsticks are slightly longer than typical drumsticks. I like this because it gives me room for my hands to find their sweet spot on the stick. The grip is also pretty effective and doesn't allow my sticks to slide around or slip in my hand as much when they get sweaty. The thickness of the 5B is also nice because it's not too light to feel like a feather, but has a little beef to it so that they will hold up when they get whacked across my drum set. If you use sticks with grip on them these are some of the best out there!
