WEIGHT: Medium/Heavy
TAPER: Large
TIP STYLE: Heavy Metal
The Reach Series drumsticks still have the feel and responsiveness of the Standard Series, but are a longer and denser option. Used predominantly by Rock/Hardcore/Metal drummers, the Reach Series provides that extra length to enhance your technique. With a powerful tip and a hard hitting execution, these sticks are not recommended for the faint hearted.

Undoubtedly durable, Perfectly weighted and Unbelievably unique.
Before swapping to Collision, I originally played ProMark 2Bs and would often be left disappointed by how quickly they would splinter and break. As I haven’t seen the size “5AR” from any other company I thought it would be something new to try out and I was pleasantly surprised.
Within a week the sticks had arrived, ready to be taken to London for my weeks worth of gigs. Surprised at how thin yet heavy the sticks were I decided to test the durability by hitting the kit as hard as I could. I am talking JOHN BONHAM DENMARK 1969 LEVELS OF POWER BEHIND MY STICKS and they didn’t even splinter. On top of this the weight of the stick was perfect, Heavy enough to lay out hard rock grooves but light enough to play traditional grip funk grooves.
I would fully recommend that everyone tries these sticks when swapping to Collision as I firmly believe that anyone would be exceptionally overjoyed by the results.

Resilient and well-playing, sums these up pretty well. To elaborate- I don’t happen to have a very light touch when it comes to rimshots and most stick die on me within two to three weeks. The 5AR’s not only haven’t broken but they’re barely showing signs of being played.
And on top of apparently being built from vibranium they feel great to play, they’ve got enough length to allow you to choke up on the stick or let it loose on demand.

Best drumsticks I ever used!! I am impressed with how they feel, with the rebound and the durability. First time I used the 5AR impressed me so much on how durable they are and have now become my No.1 choice of a pair of sticks. The 5AR sticks are incredibly lengthy and feels amazing to use! I have never used any other sticks like the 5AR, they are incredibily unique and that’s what I love about these sticks!
I believe these drumsticks are suitable for every genre and I would definitely recommend every drummer to give these sticks a go, you won’t be disappointed! Definitely worth buying!!

I honestly can’t believe how durable these sticks are! I have been using one pair for repeated shows, practices, and studio time with my band. Mind you my band I play for is a hardcore band so “play hard, play fast!” And I just am amazed that they haven’t even shown signs of them breaking on me yet! At the same time they don’t weigh me down and give great rebound, giving that perfect density I’ve been longing for in a stick! I also like how long they are as I’m not the biggest guy around and don’t need to hunch over my kit as much anymore. I recommend them to other drummers I see at shows and stand proudly behind collision on these unique sticks!

Durable, Comfortable, Good Looking, but enough about me. THESE STICKS ROCK!
I used Vic Firth 5A Extreme’s before swapping to Collision, and would spend a fortune on re-buying, because I’d break one so often, sometimes manufacturer errors, mostly just wear and tear. But since switching, I can honestly say, hand on heart, I’ve broken 3 sticks… Out of like 8 pairs between me and my bro who also plays.
They feel great to hold, they dont have unnecessary lacquer or coatings like some sticks which make them feel like holding jelly. There’s a perfect amount of grip no matter how sweaty you are.
Would i recommend these sticks? Uh, Duh, I’d be mad not to, they are honestly the way forward, and it’s awesome to have such a supportive team behind the scenes to talk to regarding the sticks too.
Keep up the awesome work guys

Best Drumsticks hands down! I’ve made this stick my signature one and I’ve had no regrets. My play style is more relaxed and calm, so the extra reach on these sticks help so much with my playing. The durability is also something worth mentioning, I still have my first pair with little to no dents and chips. If they feel good, you play good and these sticks do the trick! Good company and product.

These sticks are absolutely incredible! Highly durable, strong, versatile and they feel fantastic! They are everything you need in a drum stick and I would recommend them to every drummer!!
These guys are amazing at what they do and they are so genuine down to earth people and they love to help you with whatever you need!
10/10! Make sure you grab some! You won’t be disappointed!

The best sticks I’ve used at this length, thought the weight would feel different given the extra length but these guys have nailed it.
They feel smooth and slick when playing

I originally tried Collision 5AR’s back in 2016 and haven’t been able to play any other sticks since.
The main things for me was the durability when playing rock music as I hit quite hard but also the versatility for playing other styles.
I struggle with having small hands but needing extra length, so a regular 5B just doesn’t cut it for me. I love the slimmer feel of the 5A with the extended reach of the 5AR. I have always been very impressed by the smooth finish of the sticks – it makes it very comfortable.
I always recommend them to people when they ask! Thank you for making the best drum sticks 🥁😍

At first I was very skeptical about these sticks. I used to play Promark 5a’s. I am very proud to say that I am now a user of Collision drumsticks. The first day I got them I didn’t like them. They were heavy compared to my old sticks, but the second day I picked them up, and I fell in love. The balance, durability, and functionality of these sticks is beyond belief. They have exceeded my expectations in every area. I love these sticks, and would highly recommended them to everyone from beginners, to experienced players.
Hector Jonson (verified owner) –
I use the 5AR, they’re great sticks, with the added length a standard 5A doesn’t typically have, whilst maintaining a similar feel and weight. This allows me to play with better reach and balance! Will be recommending them to everyone !
ELLIOT FINLAY –
I use the Collision 5ARs and I really like how the extra length makes it that bit easier to maintain a high volume and intensity while playing. The sticks feel great to play and are built to last. Highly recommend these sticks for loud and heavy drum styles!

I just got a set of 5Ar and 7a to try out. At first i did not know what to think as iv been with a different brand of sticks for years.
I picked 2 of the most heaviest songs in my metal bands setlist and began to play at the end i was blown away at how durable and musical the sticks were no chipping or sawdust at all.
I then began play the set which consist of 10 songs I had a 7A in my left hand and 5Ar in right hand best match still no chipping.

I received my Collision Drumsticks two days ago. I played them all day yesterday. I ordered more today! These sticks have perfect pitch, impeccable balance and are durable beyond comparison to any other brand I’ve played. The drumstick is an extension of my hand and is one of the most important aspect of my instrument as I am a drum set player. I must have drums, cymbals and now the incredible Collision Drumsticks will be a permanent member of my drumming endeavors!

The 5ARs are a fantastic combination of weight, balance, and robust durability.
I primarily play Metal (Tech/Death/Grind) so I was always on the search for sticks that were durable and well balanced for my style of playing. After rotating between a handful of different brands I found what I was looking for in the Collision 5ARs. The extra length and having a ‘heavy’ tip really benefits by providing power and comfortable balance at the same time. As for the durability – all I can say is I’m used to sticks cracking at the neck or taper after 6-8 hours of practice time and I’ve been using the same pair of 5ARs for almost 3 weeks for a play time total of ~25 hours. I’m confident in saying I don’t think I’ll find better sticks for my comfort and playing style.
Marquis Faison –
5ARs are AMAZING!!! I absolutely love the extra length these stickers afford me. They let me hit those cymbals that are placed further out, and still have the light-weight feel if the 5A. No chips after hours of play. It’s a great design, and the red arrow looks great!!!
Silvano Olalla (verified owner) –
Durable and nice feeling sticks. Good quality products. Before playing 5ARs I used the promark 5A,
and although they are the same size, they are completely different when it comes to playing, with collision being the perfect candidates for me.

The sticks are perfect, so durable, so comfortable to play, perfectly balanced and and overall fantastic pair of sticks! Same applies for the 7A’s aswell!
Adriana Cappucci (verified owner) –
Best drumsticks ever, I’m in love since I tried them! Great quality, comfy, balanced and versatile. Besides, being longer than the standard 5A, they give more mobility while playing. They don’t break, even if you play pretty loud! I recommend them!
chrisp.drums (verified owner) –
I love playing the 5AR sticks, because they offer great durability, perfect balance and good grip! The 5AR sticks will accompany me for the coming years!

This is a game changer for me.
I’m so impressed and thankful so such a quality and detail to an extensions of me.
As a drummer I consider sticks an extension of me that allows me to expand my creativity and feed the music.
I’ve tried so many brands and the sticks would not last regardless of whether or not I adjusted to them . I decided to no longer adjust to the sticks.
Then These came along what a change from what I had been using before the 5A Reach. I mean the sticks would break after a week or get chewed up and become unusable so I would get another pair.
The story had changed and I switch between 5B Reach and 5AR have been using the same 5AR pair for 3 WEEKS , 3 WEEKS and still going strong .
I’m done searching because I’ve really found what I needed 🙏🏾.
Thank you so much

The best sticks i ever tried!
They are a bit longer than normal 5A´s. With this extra length i get the perfect combination, no matter if I want to play loud and “hard hitting parts” or play smooth parts. The feeling of the sticks is outstanding and the balance of the sticks fits my style perfectly.
I would definitely recommend every drummer to give these sticks a try! You won´t regret it!
Alex Camilleri (verified owner) –
Best sticks hands down I’ve ever played. They deliver a unique yet familiar feel as well as provides the extra length for those who may have smaller arms that really need it. Overall these sticks provide excellent feel and are a great innovation for the already great collision 5a drumsticks!
Andrei Biniadakis (verified owner) –
5A Reach are one of the best sticks you can play with. they are durable and super well balanced sticks. before switching to Collision Drumstick i use to go through a pair or two of stick a week where now i go through two pairs a month. 100% recommend this pair of stick any time !!!!
Daniel Kwakulusha (verified owner) –
I have been playing 5AR for seven weeks since I received it and jo matter how hard and how many times I have played its still in good shape… I call it The Stone Breaker (THORS HARMER)
Its extra ich to the length makes me more relax to reach every part of my drum any style I choose to sit.
An ever satisfying weight balance, that gives me both 5A and a little 5B
I am officially done searching for the perfect pair of sticks for me, because I have found it.♥️🥁

These are phenomenal sticks! I’ve played Vater since 2001. The last model I was playing from them was the Power 5A which had a little extra length. I was worried about finding another drumstick with that length. The Collision 5AR was the perfect switch. They’re built like tanks and have lasted me for months. They’re weighted perfectly and I get wonderful tones out them. You MUST try these sticks and see for yourself!
rlemusician (verified owner) –
Collision Drum sticks are by far my favorite drum sticks to perform with. The balance is great, and I love the reach on the 5AR’s. They feel very natural while drumming. Awesome drum stick and very durable.
Connor –
Honestly the best drumsticks I’ve used!
The added length gives the drum sticks a more focussed and divine feel, and it benefits not only MY playing, but the playing of other customers and artists around the world!
Ever since becoming an endorsee of Collision Drumsticks, I’ve had nothing but amazing support and love from the company, and these sticks go to show the amount of love they put into the products.
Giacomo (verified owner) –
5AR wands are great! I have tried many sticks since I started playing, different woods and sizes but the sticks in question are really special. Fantastic grip in all the various handles, exceptional quality and well balanced. Since I tried this model I have not left them anymore.
Reimon T (verified owner) –
For me, 5A Reach is the best model, because the extra length improves reach and your weight is perfect, its wooden tip brings out the best sound from your instrument and its red arrow gives it a warrior touch for the finish. Real perfect pair
TuQica Cakau (verified owner) –
The Perfect Stick pair if your into longer sticks.
The balance is unbelievable and weight is perfect. From the moment i tried them these sticks have been perfect for every session, rehearsal, service I’ve used them in. The durability is unmatched.
Max Bean (verified owner) –
Genuinely the best drumsticks I have ever used. The durability is incredible and the slightly longer length means you can get a bit more power behind your hits. Overall the perfect drumstick!

I have used the 5AR for some months now, and i gotta say i love them. In 18 years i never found the drumsticks that match perfectly with me, but now that i have the 5AR’s it was like when you find your first love. They have the perfect weight and lenght for me.
