Vic FirthAmerican Classic PureGrit Drum Sticks X5B Wood
1/8
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.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Humid club performances where sweaty hands make maintaining stick grip more difficult.
- Drummers seeking an abrasive, lacquer-free stick surface for a firmer hold.
Consider the trade-offs
