The X5B model is a more powerful model than the 5B with 1 cm in length more.
The X5B, model thicker and more powerful than the 5A. If we ask ourselves the choice of a pair of chopsticks, we can solve the problem by going to a 7A for jazz music and an X5B for hard-rock / metal music. This model has all the characteristics that have made the reputation of the brand Vic Firth that is to say, a handle that holds well in hand, a balanced weight, a profile cut for all the electric music and a teardrop-shaped olive suitable for all types of cymbals and skins.
An undeniable quality. With the American Classic series, which includes about thirty different references, we are dealing with an extremely successful production. Is it worth mentioning that, at Vic Firth, the quality of the wood is never lacking, that the chopsticks are perfectly straight, and above all, that they are paired with criteria of non-negotiable demand and precision? Kitsch aficionados will love to learn that this series features models with exquisite black and pink colors!
A musician above all. Before leading the brand that still bears his name today, the late Vic Firth was first and foremost an accomplished percussionist who practiced his art under the baton of the greatest conductors in the Boston Symphony Orchestra. His first pair of chopsticks was designed to meet the needs of a musical piece for which he wanted a particular sound and touch. Assisted by the greatest drummers on the planet, the designers of the brand have maintained this requirement to market - among others - the American Classic series which brings together the basis of models to adapt to each hand and especially to each musical context.
Adaptation of a 5B, with more length for a better elongation and a heavier sound. Overall length: 41.91 cm, Diameter: 1.51 cm.
