Vic Firth American Classic 7AN - Nylon Tip

Fantastic sticks that are well balanced, have a great size and weight for jazz drumming. The nylon tips are great for cymbal work and really help make my Zildjians cut through when needed. Also, the tips have not come off when used as some other brands may. These are suitable for beginners and seasoned drummers.

As a drummer who has played multiple styles of music in multiple gigs, I always find myself coming back to these 7ANs simply because of their weight balance, nimble and thin (yet somehow very strong) build, and obviously the nylon tips which give the 7ANs a much more distinct and instant sound unlike the wood tips.These are a great stick in almost any style of music and are a great set to start out on if your just learning the drums.Highly recommended by me!Also, I'll post all the broken ones I have lying around my studio with this review so you know I'm not kidding!

This stick has been my preference for many years. The Vic Firth name means a trusted quality product.

Was a gift and my brother loved them. Just the kind he was wanting.

Great lightweight sticks for electric set. The nylon wont leave white marks on black cymbal pads like some wooden tips. However, when I first got them the seems were sharp and I needed to lightly sand paper them smooth is the only complaint.

I started on acoustic drums and used a fairly long and heavy stick. I converted to digital drums and was concerned I was using too much stick and needed to go smaller. I used a hybrid setup, digital drums and real cymbals and I wanted tips for that reason. I settled on VF7AN's. After some adjustment I was very pleased. Then years later I decided to get another acoustic set. I thought the sticks would be too short or too weak to take the pounding. These sticks last so long you'll literally make sawdust on your HH before you work them through. The perfect stick both for digital and acoustic. As a side note, if you're having grip issues get some Sex Wax. Not only can I play with a much relaxed grip, the wax has a moisturizing effect. Between VF7AN's and Sex Wax my stick choice and grip are set for life.

This is my favorite thickness of drumstick. It's perfect for my electronic kit, which is the only thing I can have these days, because I live in a small apartment in a big city. I really miss the acoustic kit, but that's not what's important here. What's important is that these sticks have a nice grip, a nice balanced weight, and they don't break often, as long as you play daintily, which I do. The nylon tips don't make a difference on my electronic kit but they do on an acoustic kit. I think the sound was brighter, except on the kick drum. If you want a brighter kick drum I suppose you could tape some nylon to the beater. But I'm no expert, I'm just a guy who likes these sticks.

I wasn't sure I was going to like these as much as I do! The 7AN nylon tip are lighter than I was expecting and about 3/4 inch shorter than I'm used to. I play a hybrid kit with mesh heads, Roland module and Roland cymbals. These are really fun to play with on this kit and are very well balanced and responsive. I love the length and how light and nimble they feel on the mesh and cymbals. I usually use the Zildjian 5A dip sticks for the better grip but with a little lotion, I didn't find these slippery at all. I've played professionally for over 50 years and at this point, I prefer sticks that are a little lighter and slimmer. I'm no longer a heavy hitter and with my current drums , these are less fatiguing and more responsive.

Excellent

Son las primeras baquetas para que el crío empiece a tocar la batería y le van muy bien.No son muy grandes y están bien compensadas

Ce sont les meilleurs

Ottime

Excelentes!!! Me encanta el golpe fino en los Zildjian..
