Detail 01
Hickory (Vic Firth's standard stick wood)
Hickory absorbs shock better than maple and is denser, so it lasts longer under hard playing.

Vic FirthTony Royster Jr. Signature Drumsticks
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Vic Firth's Tony Royster Jr. signature stick. A general-purpose wood-tip stick at entry price, suited to drummers who want a familiar feel without hunting a spec.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Kit drummers who want a single stick for practice and gigs
- Students needing a durable stick that survives rim shots
- Anyone replacing a broken pair without changing feel
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Orchestral or concert snare players needing a matched concert stick
- Drummers who already know their exact diameter and taper preference
- Timpani, mallet or brush work — this is a stick, not a mallet
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Signature model
Dimensions are set by the artist, not a numbered series, so feel differs from a 5A or 5B.
Detail 03
Wood tip
Wood gives a warmer, less pingy cymbal sound than nylon and wears down over time.
Detail 04
Sold as a pair
One pair per purchase. Drummers who break sticks weekly should buy several at once.
Detail 05
$14.99
Standard pro-stick pricing. The cost is per pair, so it adds up across a heavy gigging year.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a 5A or 5B?
Neither. It's a signature model with its own dimensions rather than a numbered series size, so the feel won't match a 5A or 5B exactly.
02How many sticks come in this?
One pair — two sticks.
03Wood tip or nylon tip?
Wood tip. That gives a warmer, darker cymbal attack than nylon, though the tip wears down with use.
04Are these good for beginners?
Yes. It's a standard kit stick at an entry price point, and nothing about it requires advanced technique.
