[my sacred music]

so im looking for somthing alil heavyer than, but still the same diameter of 5b but not as heavy as 2b. does such a thing exsist? (i use vic-firth 5b's they seem alil heavy then most 5b's so something alil heavyer than that but not to much???)

I would just sift though the 5B's at your local drum shop and pick out the heavy paris.
or try these models:

Vater:
Power 5B
5B Xtream

Regal Tip:
5BX
7B
5B E-Series Wide

Vic Firth:
Extream 5B


That's all I know off hand that is around a 5B but a little heavyer. Most of them add a bit of length. 16.25" or 16.5"

Vic Firth HD9. its about inbetween 5b and 2b. There the best sticks ive ever used

The Vic Firth Rod Morgenstein model is almost exactly midway between the 5B and 2B. I use them and love them. I only wish they came in nylon tips...

Just ask at a drum shop to try out different 5b's. All the different stick companies make sticks of a slightly different weight. I've found vic firths 5a's to be quite light.

I think you might like Chad Smith's signature Funk Blasters by Vater. They have a 5b grip, but with a beefier taper, so there is a little more added weight, but not too much. I am not sure how they compare to other 5bs, but they might be what you are looking for.

i went around the stores. didn't find anything to amazing. i did pick up antoher pair of V/F 5b's though. but then somthing else caught my eye. some black sticks in a nice package.
tried them in 5b and they are now my new favorite sticks.
the ahead 5b's love 'em!
