Great stick all around

Over the years and in collaboration with some of the world's top artists, the design team at Vic has produced thousands of prototypes ranging from the highly experimental to the straight-ahead and everything in between. This has been their secret playground. After a lot of discussion, they have decided that some secrets are just too good to keep quiet.
"We're excited to announce that we're releasing five of our favorite prototype models to the world as our newly branded Modern Jazz Collection," states Neil Larrivee, Vice President of Education and Drumstick Product Development. "They have been staples in our back room for years -and while the name says 'Modern Jazz', we've found that these sticks are exceptional in almost any musical setting.
"Never before available to the public, these five models were developed collaboratively with drummers on the cutting edge of "America's Original Art Form", including Jeff Ballard, Greg Hutchinson, Joe McCarthy and Lewis Nash.

"I'm so glad Vic has brought this stick back. The MJ3 to me is a perfectly balanced stick for any genre and harkens back to the era of big band and session drummers who needed to play with a wide dynamic range in an array of different styles. #sweepstakes"

"Please continue to make these - can't find them anywhere in the UK and most places saying they're discontinued!"

"I perform in a touring country/americana band. The long taper and additional length of the MJC3 are what I have always been looking for. Crisp, forward balance and feel. I purchased 3 pair to try out and loved them. Wish I could purchase a brick but now backordered. Please make more!"
