Between 5A and 5B with a little extra length. That's the magic formula for me.The wood tips chip before the stick is actually worn out. I will admit, that could be a technique problem on my part.

I’ve been through so many different brands and stick sizes. Vic Firth just has that brilliant quality I’m looking for at a price between £10-12. Previous I used a 5A extreme stick, slightly longer than a 5A to give more power and lightweight for quick hands. Although after many gigs being slightly heavy on the hi-hat I found they lasted ok but I needed them to last a little longer. Tried the extreme 5B and found them too heavy and big/thick, so went for the in between stick X55A. Perfect, my go to stick. Still lightweight, more durable and great price. You won’t be disappointed.

Agree with many that these are a great all around stick. Balance is good and they're comfy to hold. Ok for a medium stick.I prefer the sound of something a little lighter like the Steve Jordans I got.

A member on our worship team suggested these to me. Gotta say his suggestion was right on. They are like a cross between a 5a and a 7a. They are beefier than a 7 so you don't feel like you're going to throw them when playing but they are not super thick that they are too heavy. I play mostly on a Roland kit and they work really well for that. Have not had a chance to play them on an my Pearl acoustic kit. But I would imagine they would work well there too.

Love this size drumstick. they have the extra length i love and are thicker then the 5a which i need for durability. i play mixes from rock, punk, pop. so they sticks are great. if your looking for more speed i might stick with the x5a because its not quite as thick but it still has the length.hope this helps!Happy Drumming!

The are the best stick. I used nothing but Vic firth x55a. I used to use 7a nd Aaron Spears signature stick but it was to light nd short this is the perfect stick. It have length nd the weight i like. It perfect. The Aaron spear stick is similar in length nd weight.

These are my favorite sticks right now. I have always like the "Xtreme" Vic Firth sticks. I like the extra length they have. I played X5A and X5AN for a long time after using the X55B and X55BN and noticing the they were a little too loud for hat I needed. The X5A's are great and I always have some on hand for quieter gigs but the "NEW" X55A are the best balanced stick for size and weight. However I have ordered sticks and when I get them they seem way too light weight and feel hollow. That is the only drawback to ordering sticks online.
