  • Light and Subtle – Designed for ultra-soft dynamics and refined articulation

  • Effortless Rebound – Long taper provides smooth stick response and fast motion

  • Warm and Clean Tone – Round tip produces minimal attack and a full, gentle sound

Built to Last:

  • Made from high-quality select maple for lightness and sensitivity

  • Pitch- and weight-matched pairs ensure consistent performance

  • Proudly manufactured in the USA at Vic Firth’s Boston facility with professional-grade quality control

Ideal For:

  • Orchestral and pit percussionists requiring extreme control and quiet dynamics

  • Musicians playing in acoustic or soft-volume environments
