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

The Nova sticks are made of hickory, a wood that, due 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.
