 CHECK OUT VIC'S NEW SIGNATURE STICKS FOR 2003!

Vic Firth is proud to feature 5 new signature products from some of the hottest names in drumming!

From WUV, drummer for P.O.D., comes the new SWUV signature stick. It features A 7A shaft with an enlarged tear drop tip for a light feel with a big sound. "My stick is phat. It's not as big as most sticks, but it lets me be versatile and play fast and hard and it holds up amazingly. It feels so natural that you don't even think it's in your hand, homey. VF makes the best sticks in the world, and they are the leader of the new school jack."
Hickory. L = 15 1/2" Dia = .533"

John Dolmayan from System of a Down comments on his new stick, "I designed my stick for comfort, balance and durability. I also designed the tip so it has greater bounce and more speed. All these factors will give you more powerful techniques and graceful rhythms." The new SDOL features a 55A shaft with a barrel tip for a beefy stick that's easy to play.
Hickory. L = 16", Dia = .585"

As the drummer for Tool, Danny Carey wanted a stick with a cut-in design in the gripping area for improved comfort. The SDC also features a tapered butt end for improved balance.
Hickory. L = 16 1/2", Dia. = .695" @ butt, .630" @ shaft

Studio great Paulinho DaCosta designed a small timbale stick that is ideal for solo playing. The SPD is a multi-purpose stick for use on timbales, agogo, tamborim, repique and many other world percussion instruments.
In honey hickory. L = 15 1/4", Dia. = .375"

Mary J. Blige's drummer Gerald Heyward designed a stick that features a barrel tip and plenty of length with a short taper for really laying into a groove. According to Gerald, "Any drummer that uses the SGH will BLAZE the nation!!!!"
