Size 5B drum sticks are the ideal choice of beat keepers who want every whack and thwack to be loud and powerful. The reason is because 5B drum sticks have a thicker grip and heavier weight compared to 5A drum sticks. In other words, if you're a fan of the drum styles of John Bonham, Travis Barker or Lars Ulrich, then this is the section for you. In these pages you'll discover that every top drum stick brand offers their own 5b drum stick models, including Ahead, Promark, Vic Firth, Vater and many others.
Whether you prefer the durability of aluminum, the density of hickory or the lightness of maple, this selection is bound to have the perfect pair of size 5B drum sticks for you. As always, starting with the best sellers or top-rated items is an excellent way to speed up your decision, and for that we'll point you in the direction of the Promark Natural Hickory Drumsticks. Promark designs these sticks through their exclusive Millennium II manufacturing process. The result is a stick pair with exceptional strength and balance that will be sure to impress even veteran heavy-hitters.
Zildjian is another brand that's respected for their high-quality size 5B drum sticks. One of their most popular choices here is the DIP Drumsticks (6-Pack). A unique coating is applied to the grip area of these sticks for top-notch comfort. This allows players to relax their hands more, which comes in especially handy in sweaty palm situations. Armed with Zildjian DIP Drumsticks, you'll be sure to notice a huge enhancement in the overall projection of your performance.
