Quality wood.

I have been playing this stick for what seems to be about 30 years.... It's just perfect.
Enough weight to feel like you're holding and swinging something and yet light enough for some finesse and very little fatigue

Love them.

Rated 5/5

Forgot how awesome these sticks feel!!!

Just started back up playing my set after a 20 year hiatus. Been playing with mostly Pro-Mart Hickory sticks I picked up at a local music store. 20 years ago I remember loving the feel of Vic Firth sticks in my hands and broke down an got a pair here. These things are like playing with air compared to the Pro-Mart sticks I've been playing with for a year now. Definitely gonna get a few more and keep the Pro-Marts as backup. The Vic Firth Generals allow super fast speed and killer rolls. Won't be going back to the Pro Marts any time soon. Yup, I just love the way these sticks feel in my hands!!!!
Rated 1/5

durability

I'm very disappointed in the durability of these sticks today. I very rarely break sticks and I've used SD 1s for many years. for the past couple of years they've been breaking them in 2 in the same place below the fulcrum. I'm going to have to find another similar stick somewhere else since it's obvious that the stick is NOT the same quality as it once was. it's a shame. They used to wear down before they broke.
Music background: 40 yrs of drumming
