Vic Firth 5AN Nova is a set of drumsticks manufactured by Vic Firth to the same quality standards but at a more affordable price. These drumsticks are made in the same factory and with the same machinery as their “big sisters.”

The Nova drumsticks are made of hickory, a wood that, thanks to its stability and acoustic properties, is ideal for making drumsticks. One of hickory’s properties is its optimal weight distribution, which also helps prevent the stick from splintering or warping.
