Vic FirthAmerican Classic PureGrit Drum Sticks X5B Wood
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
American Classic PureGrit X5B sticks are built for players whose hands become especially sweaty. Rather than using lacquer, they have a natural finish with PureGrit processing that creates an abrasive texture for a firmer grip. The result is aimed at maintaining hold during humid club dates and other sweaty playing conditions. These hickory sticks use wood acorn tips, with a medium taper and listed 16-inch length.

Who this is for
- Humid club performances where sweaty hands make maintaining stick grip more difficult.
