Overview
Handling heavy rock, concert band and practice sessions is the job of this American Classic 2B three-pack. Each stick is dense select hickory with a tear drop wood tip and a lacquer finish.
Vic Firth aims it at drummers who like a larger stick, with minimal flex for a pronounced sound and shock absorption for hard playing. A three-pack means spares on hand. The size makes it a poor fit for light, fast work.
Who it's for
Rock and concert band players who like a thick stick and want spare pairs ready for rehearsals, studio sessions and live shows. Drummers who play quietly or need a light, nimble stick should choose a smaller model.
Pros and cons
- Three sticks in the pack
- Dense hickory with minimal flex
- Deeply back-cut tear drop tip
- Large size limits light playing
- Color listed only as custom
Performance notes
Dense hickory with minimal flex transfers energy cleanly, which gives a pronounced sound. The deeply back-cut tear drop tip is shaped to enhance cymbal response. A medium taper sets the balance for a comfortable feel in hard playing.
