The American Classic 5A is the stick a lot of us learned on, and it is still the pair most drummers grab when they want one stick that covers everything. This is that same 5A with a black painted finish.
Vic Firth lists it at .565 inches in diameter and 16 inches long with a medium taper, so the balance sits right between the butt and the tip. The teardrop wood tip gives you a full, clear sound on cymbals. If you already play a natural 5A, the difference here is the look and the feel of the paint in your hand.
