A programmed evolution. The 5B has not always been the standard in the hands of drummers, and it can even be said that the length and thickness of the sticks has evolved a lot since the jazz era and the beginnings of rock n' roll. There are two reasons for this. The first one is that the cymbals were thinner, and that the drummers were looking for the bounce, with a rather short length and a very tapered neck. The second is that the amplification was not yet at its peak, and the music didn't need a very high sound level for the drums. Today, the Vic Firth 5B are adopted by a large majority of musicians. A fleshy body to be desired. The relationship to the instrument having thus radically changed, the drummer demands less use of rebound, and therefore of his fingers. It is quite naturally that a manufacturer like Vic Firth, always attentive to the demands of instrumentalists, developed from the 1970s onwards models generating more power, with a shorter neck and a neck that fits well in a closed hand. The result is a hickory stick with a forward weight and a tear-shaped olive. Enough to hit a thousand times without ever having to force it. An unfailing quality. If all the quality parameters were not met, all this would be in vain. And yet, in this matter, it's a little Vic Firth who sets the tone. Whether it is the origin of the wood, the perfect size of the sticks, the varnish (neither too thin nor too thick) or the pairing, everything is done to deliver the best to the user. In terms of solidity, the blows can be delivered without fear, especially with a supple and ample gesture. Even for a hard game, these 5Bs will last a very long time! 

The 7A, a thin and light rod. The 7A models are absolutely perfect if you are looking for a light, thin and exquisitely expressive cue. This model is very popular in the world of jazz, but also in funk and pop. All manufacturers, and of course Vic Firth, offer similar characteristics: a handle that fits well in the hand, a balanced weight, a profile cut for all types of electric or acoustic music and a tear-shaped olive that is suitable for all types of cymbals and skins. Undeniable quality. With the 7A range, we are dealing with a hyper accomplished production. Is it useful to specify that at Vic Firth, the quality of the wood is never lacking, that the sticks are perfectly straight, and above all, that they are matched with non-negotiable criteria of requirement and precision? A musician above all. Prior to directing the brand that still bears his name today, the late Vic Firth was first and foremost an accomplished percussionist who practiced his art under the guidance of the greatest conductors in the Boston Symphony Orchestra. His first pair of sticks was designed to meet the needs of a piece of music for which he wanted a special sound and feel. Assisted by the world's greatest drummers, the brand's designers have maintained this requirement in order to market - among others - the American Classic series, which includes the basis of models designed to adapt to each hand and, above all, to each musical context.

An indispensable tool for technical progress. Available with soft rubber for quiet practice and hard rubber to increase the intensity of training and hear every hit, Vic Firth training pads are indispensable for all drummers who want to warm up before a gig or for those who simply want to improve their technical skills. The pads all have a non-slip surface and the base of each pad is cut from dense wood. You will experience an amazingly realistic feel.

Protection for safe practice. Developed in partnership with Rod Morgenstein, Vic Firth isolation headphones have been designed to protect all musicians from the high sound levels their instruments may produce. Practice your art safely! Harmful effects on your hearing system. Prolonged exposure to high sound levels can have devastating and irreparable effects on the ears. You may suffer from hearing fatigue more quickly, tinnitus, or, at worst, total loss of hearing. Three models for ultimate protection. Vic Firth headphones significantly reduce noise levels. Depending on the model chosen between the DB22, KIDP and SIH2, the reduction of outside noise ranges from -22 dB to -25 dB, offering valuable protection against potential damage. The DB22 is a protective helmet that reduces outdoor noise by -25 dB, and is primarily intended for teenagers and adults. The KIDP is for children and reduces outdoor noise by -22 dB. The SIH2, for its part, is a hybrid mixture of protective helmet and audio helmet. You can use this headset as a return while it will also protect you by reducing the outside noise by -25 dB.

Express your artistic talent with Vic Firth. Let's face it, you can practice all sorts of things with drumsticks, but some joints or sound textures are simply impossible to achieve.

Different models with unique characteristics. Vic Firth offers a variety of brushes designed to deliver traditional sound or to create innovative and daring sound textures. Each model offers its own musical characteristics and thus the possibility to open up your sound palette. Try something new and see where it takes you.

Another pair of sleeves. All the drummers who've played with them will tell you: playing broomsticks is a different story! And it's precisely in the history of drumming that we find the genesis of these strands of steel that were born to help drummers play softer in certain contexts. It is of course jazz that gave the brooms their letters of nobility and mastering them not only brings another sound colour, but also makes it possible to use the sticks even more easily. Designed for tradition. The brooms do not bounce off the skin or the metal of the cymbals. In order to satisfy a wide variety of uses, many models exist today. The thickness of the handle can vary, as can the material (wood, hard plastic, rubber...), but it is mainly the quality and the number of strands that will determine the sound produced. The Vic Firth HB brushes are both traditional in terms of fineness and number of strands, and quite modern, as the handle offers a very ergonomic grip. The metal is soft enough to perform all the tricks without too much force and the rubbing is easy to achieve without pressing too much on the skin. Retractable and durable. The Vic Firth HB are of course retractable with two possible positions, depending on the desired length. Once they have been adjusted, connoisseurs can choose to store them directly in the tube provided, without ever having to tuck them into the handle again. This will increase their lifespan, even though this model is not fragile in any way. The small ring can be used to mark glissandos on the surface of your cymbals or small figures on their bells, if necessary... In any case, it will be quite an art, all in delicacy.
