Why do you choose Vic Firth?
Vic always seemed to be opened to new ideas when it came to helping drummers design their signature drumsticks. He also took great care in making sure each pair of sticks were perfectly balanced for optimal playing response on the drum set. Vic was always available to talk to you on the phone if you needed to. His contribution on helping me develop my stick sound is deeply appreciated every time I sit down to play music. Thank you Vic for giving us the drumsticks that keep on giving.
