The Vic Firth AJ5 is the thinnest stick in the entire Vic Firth catalog, measuring just .490" in diameter at 16" long. Made from select hickory with a long taper and small tear drop tip, it's designed for jazz players who want featherlight touch, fast rebound, and maximum finesse on brushwork-to-stick transitions. The long taper gives it a flexible, back-weighted feel that rewards delicate playing.

If you play jazz combos, brushes-and-sticks sets, or any low-volume situation where sensitivity matters more than power, the AJ5 is in its element. The small tip keeps cymbal articulation focused and clear, and the hickory construction ensures they last despite their slender profile. Sold as a pair.
