Reviews

Excellent Sticks!
I have been trying so many sticks and decided to give these a try based on the previous review. These are Great sticks! The double glaze is perfect if you have dry hands and Vic Firth really has a winner with these sticks. Definitely worth a try particularly if you have tried Regal Tip sticks and you are looking for a new stick similar to the feel of those. Also definitely worth purchasing from Sweetwater! Thank you!

Best stick I've ever used
The double glaze line is absolute perfection if you've got dry hands. Enough grip to maintain an easy hold on the stick, but not so much that it tears up your hands. The X5B is amazing for rock and metal, but I would highly recommend trying this line in whatever size works best for you if you struggle with dry hands.
