Description

For nearly two decades, Nate Smith has been impacting the music scene with his visceral, instinctive, and deep-rooted style of drumming. Not bound by genre, his playing moves effortlessly from jazz to fusion, R&B to hip-hop, from pop to rock and everywhere in between. That versatility and effortless flow comes to life perfectly in his new Signature Series stick from Vic Firth.

Just slightly thinner than a 7A in the grip, and with added length and a medium taper for a smooth response and impeccable balance. The rounded barrel tip allows for articulation at any angle and lets you pull serious sound out of your cymbals.

Sound & Feel:

  • Warm and Expressive – Hybrid barrel tip offers a blend of articulation and tone for both cymbals and drums

  • Controlled and Focused – Shorter length and medium taper enhance balance and precision

  • Natural and Comfortable – Medium-thin diameter and smooth lacquer provide a relaxed, confident grip


Built to Last:

  • Made from high-quality hickory for durability, responsiveness, and consistency

  • Designed to Nate Smith’s exact specifications for professional-level control and tone

  • Manufactured in the USA to Vic Firth’s exacting standards of quality


Ideal For:

  • Groove-driven players in jazz, fusion, funk, neo-soul, and beyond

  • Drummers looking for a warm, articulate stick that can shift effortlessly across dynamics

  • Musicians who prioritise feel, phrasing, and pocket over sheer power

  • Artists seeking a signature stick that supports both subtle nuance and explosive energy
