    The quality of the products is always amazing and the people working at Vic Firth are super nice. My favorite Vic Firth product is 5B Barrel tip stick. I use them all the time and for many different genres of music. 5B Barrel tip stick is perfect for my hand and it has everything I need from a drum stick.
