I've been with Vic Firth since 1987. I actually discovered the company in the late 70's when I worked for Sam Ash on 48th Street in NYC, running the drum department. A pair of sticks with a wood-burned name in the stick came into the store - it said, "Vic Firth - SD1 General," and I began using that pair of sticks exclusively when we were slow and I was practicing on a Pocket Pad on the sales counter. I turned many famous drummers on to that stick and it always blows me away to see many of them using Vic Firth sticks to this day. I like I think I played a tiny part in spreading the word. I have used no other company's sticks since that day and still believe they are the best. Thank you Vic!
