Developed with Matt Howard, Principal Percussionist of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Vic Firth Matt Howard Signature Snare Drumsticks bring a fresh and refined approach to concert snare performance. Made from laminated birch, these sticks offer excellent weight and control, while maintaining a notably responsive and nimble feel. The unique “swoop” taper transitions smoothly into a round tip, optimising rebound with minimal effort and encouraging a relaxed grip – perfect for soft dynamics and articulate playing.

Diameter: 0.630″ – Balanced for both finesse and presence
Tip Shape: Round – Offers a clean, focused tone across dynamic ranges
Taper: Long “Swoop” Taper – Designed for optimised bounce and effortless response
