Rods are designed to give drummers a lower-volume option that sit between a traditional drumstick and a soft wire brush. They are ideal for small acoustic gigs, unplugged sessions, rehearsals - anywhere that a full wooden drumstick is too loud.
@reynlord getting after it with his HD9s 🥁🔥
At 16.25" long and .61" in diameter, the HD9s feature hickory construction, medium taper, and an oval wood tip for a balanced feel with added reach and leverage.
Anyone else looking to put some extra weight behind their playing? 👊
🥁 PUREGRIT vs. REGULAR vs. DOUBLEGLAZE 🥁
Same great Vic Firth feel. Three very different ways to connect with your sticks 🥢
There is no “best” finish... just the finish that feels best in your hands 😎
Which one are you playing? 👇
There is undeniable beauty in preserving the natural state of wood. Our Terra sticks do exactly that. No bleach, no paint, just a pure celebration of the natural grain. Available in the most popular Vic Firth profiles, these are definitely a worthy addition to your stick bag.
This is one of those stank face grooves, for real. Thankfully @williebdrums rocks Extreme 8D's for that extra reach to make grooves like this so much easier 🥢
If you haven't tried your favorite profile in the extreme variant, this is your call!
Are you locked into one set of sticks when you jam jam or are you like '@zendemurdock who can rip any pair without even looking? 😎
Comment your go-to stick!
@elijahcaver_drums delivering us a fantastic Vic Lick today. This is one we feel could slot into anyone's playing. If you know your paradiddles, you can give this one a try.
What do you think? 🔥
Artist signature sticks are as diverse as the artists themselves!
Check out your favorite artist's signature stick and see if it levels up your playing.
As unique to you as the grain of a hickory tree, this is your musical journey: Go with it.

RAISE 'EM UP! 🥢
@steverapportphotography caught this incredible moment of @petervarnado with his Extreme 55A's giving him that extra reach and leverage he's looking for on the kit 😎 👍
Anybody else rock our EXTREME sticks?

We caught the legend @stevesmithdrums warming up recently, seeing first-hand the nuance, articulation, and control that have made him one of the most influential drummers in jazz and beyond. 🥢 SSS Signature Series - Steve Smith
Jazz is some of the most expressive music there is, and your sound should be just as unique. Each of our Modern Jazz sticks has its own distinct sound and feel so you can find the pair that matches your voice 🎷🥁
Vic Licks got an upgrade check it out 😎 We are proud to debut this new look that includes notation with Vic artist @imaddrums breaking down this sweet fill.
Who else is adding this to their toolkit?
It's not just about the weight of the material, but how the sticks affect your sound. This is ultimately what dictates the true "feel" of your playing 😎
The Hickory is noticeably denser than the Maple; how would you describe the difference in their tone?
You only get one set of ears in life, and hearing damage is permanent! Protect them while you play.
We recognize that whether you're behind the kit, in the pit, or front row at a show, ear protection matters. Vic Firth hearing protection keeps the music alive without the damage.
