Vic Firth Review: 5BN Sticks

History:

Purchase: I bought these sticks at my local music shop in Kilmarnock, Scotland. they cost me £7. I bought them after wanting to try different sticks from the Pro Marks that i used before them.

What I Like About This Vic Firth 5BN Sticks: The sticks are very well balenced, if you really care if they are balanced or not. They are very solid sticks and have lasted me about 4 months without them snapping

What I Do NOT Like About The Vic Firth 5BN Sticks: The nylon tip on the stick gives a great sound on the cymbals but sadly today 1 of them snapped off, leaving a horrible sharp tip underneath, which shouldnt be used on your kit.

Vic Firth 5BN Sticks Quality Rating: the quality is reasonable the sticks didnt snap but sadly the tips did :(

Review Summary: great sticks, i will buy them again but maybe more than 1 pair :) maybe the Wood tips with be better and last longer.

Rating of this Vic Firth product: 4
