Customer reviews about Vic Firth 5A Nova Hickory Black Wood Tip

A

Very nice feel when playing.

Anonymous 06.01.2017

I bought these drumsticks, because i had only one pair left to play with. Now im in love with these ones.
Also ive heard that Vic Firth makes good drumsticks, so i got Nova to get intodruced to Vic Firth. I tend to break drumsticks very often, so i didnt want to get very expensive ones.
For 6 EUR, these drumsticks are excellent! They're nice weight for me and are even better than the other ones i had. I could even suggest getting 5B's for grown ups, as im only 13 years old, but weight of drumsticks is personal preference.
Only problem i have with black drumsticks is that they leave black marks on my drum heads, but that is not a problem, because you can easily clean them off.
I would reccomend these drumsticks for everyone, who likes light drumsticks. They are not heavy, and easy to play with for new drummers.
For 6 EUR you cant expect more.

overall decent

gnf404 02.03.2021

overall decent sticks but not for the hard hitter. there is a good balance off weight and there's enough grip. but for me they broke in one session of practice, wont recomend to hard hitters.

Broke in half

Albert0283 26.08.2025

They made an overall good impression. Lay nice in the hand and so on. But one of the sticks just snapped in half after 1 hour playing. On E-DRUMMS!! But its alright for that price. And must have been a rare occurence because the other one is sturdy.

Worked okay

They worked, but broke quite quickly in comparison to other drumsticks I have used.

Great low price sticks

Brian O. 23.01.2015

I bought these for use with an electronic drum synthesiser. I use them along with the Tama TCP10D Silent Tips. They have a perfect weight, and are inexpensive. As I'm not a real drummer I can't comment behind that, but certainly for use in an electronic environment they work great, and for live use they look good too.

As a beginner, they are perfect.

Ivan Pinto 30.03.2023

Really impressed with this drumsticks. I play really hard (so people tell me) and they have lasted really long. Also, they feel really good, not to heavy and not to light. I really like it.

Can't go wrong

There's a reason these Vic Firth sticks are the standard. Nice weight and length, finish is great too - you won't get splinters for a while, if at all. They're a bit heavy if you're playing jazz but for pretty much anything else, they're great.

Good sticks for practicing.

Anonymous 17.02.2015

Vic Firth Nova series is slightly lower quality than standard Vics. I find all Nova sticks heavier and easier to brake. However some peaces are better than others as the quality is not so consistent with Novas. Overall these sticks are good and next time I would not buy Black finish as it leaves black marks on my drum heads.
