Vintage-style Drumsticks for a Variety of Styles

The Vintage Series is a mainstay of the Innovative Percussion product line. It all starts with prime white hickory selected for straight grain, strength, and weight. Next, the sticks get lathed down to their final size, with a 16.125-inch length, a medium taper, and old-school, acorn-style tips. Finally, they’re lightly lacquered for a secure grip and extra durability to get you through any gig. At Sweetwater, we’ve found that these sticks create a pleasing, well-rounded sound with excellent articulation around the kit. This model, the IP-5A, is a pair of 5A wood tip drumsticks. As the most common stick size, 5As work well across a range of genres and styles.

Great for a variety of styles and genres
Acorn-style tips that provide a warm tone around the kit

I've been using the same pair for about 3 weeks now, with no overall complaints. I will say that the stick is a bit lighter than I expected(compared to a previous brand's 5A). This stick is perfect for jazz/fusion music due to the finesseability and feel.
