## Description

Like the 7AN, with a bit more reach.

Review: Great Sticks! These 8DN’s are the longer version of the 7AN sticks. - These 8DN sticks are essentially the 7AN sticks, but with a 1/2 inch added to the length. I’m sure most of know the “N” stands for nylon tips. Nylon tips work well and should be used with mesh heads on edrums. *although nylon tips can also be used with acoustic drums* I purchased (2 pairs) of Vic Firth 8DN’s and use them on my edrum kit. I can feel some flex in them when I play and I like this. Both pairs are smooth, well balanced and had zero imperfections or defects. I’d say they’re quality sticks you’d expect from Vic Firth. I’ll definitely purchase them again when I go thru this pair. I recommend these if you like the 7AN and might appreciate a little more length.
Review: I had never heard of 8D, they are amazing - OK, so I had never heard of 8D before. They are like 7s, just longer. Same diameter, just a bit more length. Nice weight in the hand when playing. So if you find that 7s are just too short and need a little more length, 8Ds are an amazing option. Vic Firth quality and feel, balanced nicely. You can get a decent cross stick with these if you flip them around, however

## Features

- Similar to the 7A, but with extra length for more reach and leverage
- Also great for moving quickly around the kit
- Nylon tip for added clarity on cymbals and added durability
- Crafted from premium USA Hickory

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great sticks every time.
*by P***E on June 14, 2017*

Love these sticks. I have been using Vic Firth sticks for many years. Arrow straight, and nicely sanded wood. I like how they are consistent from stick to stick over the years. I use the smaller diameter 8's these because I play a Roland electric drum kit, and I don't necessarily need to hit pads so hard to get the volume I want like I used to with acoustic sets. It allows me to add a stick wrap to the base to get a better handle in it without being too bulky. I tried the 8DN's because they are slightly longer than the 8D's. I am 6'6" with long arms, and I guess I appreciate the longer length, and the ability to hit a little harder with these. I'm happy with them, and don't plan to go back to the shorter sticks anytime soon.
