Vic's Sticks truly puts the artist's personal touch into your hands! The archetypical drumstick is turned from a single piece of wood, most commonly of hickory, less commonly of maple, and least commonly but still in significant numbers, of oak. Founded in 1963 and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, the company bills itself as the world's largest manufacturer of drumsticks and mallets, which were and are made in Newport, Maine, through 2012 and 2020. In 2010, the company merged with Avedis Zildjian Company; officials said at the time that the companies would continue to run independently. The company began when Firth, who had been performing with the Boston Symphony Orchestra for 12 years, was asked to perform pieces which he felt required a higher-quality drumstick than those that were currently being manufactured. Firth decided to design a set of his own sticks. Firth hand-whittled the first sticks himself from bulkier sticks and sent these prototypes to a wood turner in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The two prototypes that he sent would become the SD1 and SD2, the first two models of sticks manufactured by Vic Firth, Inc. Firth said, "It came out of necessity, not of imagination or my ability to start a company." Although the sticks were initially intended for Firth's personal use, they gained popularity among his students and were eventually carried by retailers In the early days, Firth made and sold drumsticks from his garage, labeling each stick personally with a branding iron. At the time, it was a family business, so Firth made each pair himself because of safety; he did not want anyone to hurt themselves. Vic Firth Company is reintroducing these branded products as limited-time collectors’ items. The commemorative sticks and mallets available include the American Custom SD1 and SD2 snare drumsticks and American Custom T1-T6 timpani mallets. “For folks who have a memory of their first pairs, this is a nice keepsake and reflection of the 50th anniversary,” says Neil Larrivee, director of education and new product development. According to Larrivee, people still approach Vic Firth and say they hold onto these sticks from their childhood. Vic Firth Company has a special anniversary website with featured “game-changing moments” in the company history and an interactive timeline of videos, pictures and stories that provide a unique experience for the viewer. “I would like to express appreciation to all the great players who have chosen to perform with my sticks through the years,” Firth says. “For this, I most graciously thank you all!” I sell many authentic, cool Drums, Drumsticks, mallets and Percussion. A drumstick is a type of percussion mallet used particularly for playing snare drum, drum kit, and some other percussion instruments, and particularly for playing unpitched percussion. Drumsticks of the traditional form are also made from metal, carbon fibre, and other modern materials. The tip or bead is the part most often used to strike the instrument. Originally and still commonly of the same piece of wood as the rest of the stick, sticks with nylon tips have also been available since 1958. In the 1970s, an acetal tip was introduced. Tips of whatever material are of various shapes, including acorn, barrel, oval, teardrop, pointed and round. The shoulder of the stick is the part that tapers towards the tip, and is normally slightly convex. It is often used for playing the bell of a cymbal. It can also be used to produce a cymbal crash when applied with a glancing motion to the bow or edge of a cymbal, and for playing ride patterns on china, swish, and pang cymbals. The shaft is the body of the stick, and is cylindrical for most applications including drum kit and orchestral work. It is used for playing cross stick and applied in a glancing motion to the rim of a cymbal for the loudest cymbal crashes. The butt is the opposite end of the stick to the tip. Some rock and metal musicians use it rather than the tip. There are two main ways of holding drumsticks: * Traditional grip, in which right and left hands use different grips. * Matched grip, in which the two hand grips are mirror-image. Traditional grip was developed to conveniently play a snare drum while riding a horse, and was documented by Sanford A. Moeller in The Art of Snare Drumming (1925). It was the standard grip for kit drummers in the first half of the twentieth century and remains popular. Matched grips became popular towards the middle of the twentieth century, threatening to displace the traditional grip for kit drumming. However the traditional grip has since made a comeback, and both types of grip are still used and promoted by leading drummers and teachers. So Don’t worry about ‘getting it right’ – you won’t find the perfect stick right away, and it takes some experimentation with trying different sticks to discover what you prefer. Over time, as you try more and more sticks, you’ll develop a more intuitive understanding of which ones feel the best to you – and you’ll start to become more aware of what you personally prefer. At the end of the day, you should always just play with the size of stick you feel most comfortable with. Whichever stick feels right for you is the best stick – it doesn’t matter what other people are using! If you ever need more power or speed, you can always change it up later. To paraphrase a famous drumstick advert: ‘The only thing that should come between you and your drums is your favourite stick!’ But I really love sticks, sticks,sticks and more sticks so if you just love sticks just like me check back often.
