SD1 has never failed me!

"I have used Vic Firth sticks for decades. The SD 1 General sticks are my go-to sticks. I find they are the most versatile sticks around. They allow me to do precise cymbal work as well as hard hits. Some may think they are too big but I think for the more serious, experienced player, you'll find they fit nearly every occasion. I tend to be a very dynamic player. Playing everything between soft and loud. The SD1 has never let me down. It's takes quite a bit to break one of these. Thank you Vic Firth for being my favorite stick company!"

Perfect 2B Maple sticks

"Most perfect 2B Maple sticks available. Vic Firth and Zildjian have the best balanced sticks available. Gave up on all the other brands to do their inconsistency unlike Vic Firth and Zildjian!"

Best Sticks at the Best Price, and Fast Free Shipping!

"WoW! I received my order in no time at all! It was amazng. I recently found the Vic Website. Their prices were better than Amazon. Shipping was free. Now I have a direct link to the drum sticks that I love. For me, SD 1 General are THE STICK. They are a bit thicker and a bit shorter than most modern drum sticks. The wood is excellent! It has a bit if heft to it, but still feels like a bird in the hand. These sticks fit my hands well. And they hold up a long time. In my experience, SD 1 General are the best drum sticks. But they have to be made by VIC FIRTH! Other brands try to make them, but they are poor imitations. Other brands don't play well. It's the wood they use, and they probably just turn them out quickly and put a fancy name on them. But Vic Firth sticks have substance, always have. They become true extensions of the hands. Making drum sticks is an fine art and also a science. Vic Firth-Zildjian have mastered it. Thank You! And thank you for bringing the Best Sticks and Cymbals directly to drummers! I wish I'd had access like this to Zildjian as a kid! Your website is a dream! AND FREE SHIPPING! I live in Hawaii and you don't treat me any differently than other customers. Thnak you for treating me the same as other people, even though I live a long way off in the Pacific. This is AWESOME!"
