Description

The Vic Firth VF‑5ADT Dualtone is a clever hybrid: a fully balanced 5A stick with an integrated felt mallet, ideal for musicians who want to switch from bright stickwork to smooth swells in an instant. If you’re seeking innovation and convenience without sacrificing tone, this is a stellar addition to your kit.

Sound & Feel

The Dualtone combines the balanced responsiveness of a classic 5A stick with the flexibility of a felt mallet. You get articulate stick play for crisp attacks, and a soft, rounded tone by rotating the stick for mallet use. Perfect for fluid mood changes during performances or studio sessions .

Turned from premium American hickory and precision-matched for consistent weight and feel
Features tight production tolerances and durable lacquer finishing, straight from Vic Firth’s Massachusetts plant.

Ideal For:

Drummers needing quick tonal transitions-from stick attack to mallet warmth
Session and studio players who want both articulation and depth without equipment changes
Those seeking versatility and convenience in a single go-to stick
