John Mapes is a marching percussion designer and educator who has achieved an unprecedented 29 WGI medals since 2005. In addition to his successes in competitive indoor percussion - which include leading Chino Hills High School and Pulse Percussion to 5 World Championships - John is incredibly active in Drum Corps International. In 2013, John joined the design team of the Blue Stars Drum & Bugle Corps as battery arranger. Previously, he worked with Blue Devils B and Esperanza Drum and Bugle Corps.
As a long-time Vic Firth artist, I have played and taught with all of the sticks and mallets available," says Mapes. "œWhile teaching, there were certain sticks that produced the sound I most desired. However, that did not always mean that they had the feel that our performers preferred. Combining the desired sound and the feel became the focus of a product I knew could be a great addition to the Vic Firth catalog."

"Great sticks. Mine have endured 6 months of rimshots, gone right through the thick layers of tape I had on 'em, and they don't look the best anymore but they sure are durable! Nowhere near breaking yet. They sound great, too!"
— Sadra (5/5)
"Marched this stick a number of years, being the main stick i've used over the last 6 years of playing Quads. Incredible weight distribution and likely the best tone you'll get from a stick. Throughout high school, WGI, and now DCI, the John Mapes Tenor sticks will forever be a go to in my stick bag! #sweepstakes"
