Description

Part of the American Classic range, the Extreme 5A PureGrit model is designed for players who want the familiar balance of a 5A with extra reach across the kit.

  • Raw finish provides a natural grip without coatings
  • Textured surface enhances control during longer sessions
  • Comfortable response across a wide dynamic range
Built to Perform:
