NOVA by Vic Firth 5BNB
Anonymous 29.06.2016
So, i bought this sticks just to check if the 5B size was for me, i'm still getting used to it but let's talk about the sticks.

I wasn't expecting that much from some sticks that are so low priced compared to the other's, but that's what surprised me, they are low priced, but they have a normal quality, they're slightly less durable than, for example, the Vic Firth American Classic, they're light, lighter than the Pro Mark TX5AN, the sound from the nylon tip is good, the finishing is good, as expected.

These are really good for people, like me, that want to try a new stick size but don't want to spend it all on one expensive pair, or if you, for example, just need a thicker pair from time to time to play something especific, or maybe to have pairs of different sizes in your case, just in case you need it or someone else around you needs it, it's allways usefull to have one different pair around you, for the price they really are worth it, not the best sound, not the best durability but for what you pay, they do the job just fine.

Great heavy sticks
Chronos 12.05.2017
These sticks are perfect for my needs. Heavy and strong. Not much to say on them really, they've been through 25 gigs so far they haven't broken yet, but I will probably buy them again when they eventually do

This is either a scam or the product is defective!!!
Rodmetal 05.08.2025
The 5B drumsticks weigh 45g, when these should weigh 124g.
In fact, I have the same model, but in 5A, and these weigh more (53g) than the 5B drumsticks I bought (45g).
This is either a scam (they're using a different wood than the one described in the product) or the product is defective.
Since I bought them, they feel lighter, and today I was able to get a scale to verify this.
I have complained to Thomann and attached photos.

Very good for practice
WardBest 22.06.2020
They do sound different from wooden tips (particularly on cymbals) but they are very durable, so very usefull for practice, and if you don't mind or like the sound equally good for gigs.
