The Tama 5A-FBS drumsticks are made from carefully selected Japanese Oak, a wood renowned worldwide for its exceptional density and sturdy structure. Compared to the classic American hickory, Japanese oak offers significantly increased wear resistance, preventing premature cracks and breakage. At the same time, its slightly higher natural weight provides a fuller and stronger strike on drum shells.

With a diameter of 14 mm (0.551") and a typical length of 406 mm (16"), the 5A model is the most versatile and popular choice for drummers of all levels. The distinctive Black Satin finish offers a modern, dark aesthetic that stands out on the drum kit, while the special satin texture prevents slipping from the fingers even during intense performances with increased sweating.

Equipped with a classic wooden tip in an oval/drop shape, the Tama 5A-FBS drumsticks offer exceptionally clear articulation, warm tone, and rich projection on cymbals. The manufacturing excellence of Tama ensures that each pair is strictly balanced and tuned in terms of weight and frequency, providing absolute uniformity and a sense of balance in every strike.
