Description: 2 Pair Of VIC GRIP FIRTH 5A wood tip Used & 5BN nylon tip, NOS Red drum sticks Hickory Made In USA . 2 Pair Of VIC GRIP FIRTH 5BN NOS & 5A Used RED drum sticks Hickory Wood USA Made The pair of American Classic Hickory Drumsticks 5A from Vic Firth combines tradition with design for a fuller-sounding drumstick. The dense wood is deeply back-cut for intensified cymbal response and provides a more pronounced sound that is capable of withstanding a great deal of shock making it highly durable. It is light and fast for jazz orchestral and pit work. In praise of VIC FIRTH’s Sticks: Each stick we make at Vic Frith’s is conceived with the same care and respect for artistry and musicality. Vic's Sticks truly puts the artist's personal touch into your hands! The archetypical drumstick is turned from a single piece of wood, most commonly of hickory, less commonly of maple, and least commonly but still in significant numbers, of oak. Founded in 1963 and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, the company bills itself as the world's largest manufacturer of drumsticks and mallets, which were and are made in Newport, Maine, through 2012 and 2020. In 2010, the company merged with Avedis Zildjian Company; officials said at the time that the companies would continue to run independently. The company began when Firth, who had been performing with the Boston Symphony Orchestra for 12 years, was asked to perform pieces which he felt required a higher-quality drumstick than those that were currently being manufactured. Firth decided to design a set of his own sticks. Firth hand-whittled the first sticks himself from bulkier sticks and sent these prototypes to a wood turner in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The two prototypes that he sent would become the SD1 and SD2, the first two models of sticks manufactured by Vic Firth, Inc. Firth said, "It came out of necessity, not of imagination or my ability to start a company." Although the sticks were initially intended for Firth's personal use, they gained popularity among his students and were eventually carried by retailers. In the early days, Firth made and sold drumsticks from his garage, labeling each stick personally with a branding iron. At the time, it was a family business, so Firth made each pair himself because of safety; he did not want anyone to hurt themselves. According to Larrivee, people still approach Vic Firth and say they hold onto these sticks from their childhood. Vic Firth Company has a special anniversary website with featured “game-changing moments” in the company history and an interactive timeline of videos, pictures and stories that provide a unique experience for the viewer. “I would like to express appreciation to all the great players who have chosen to perform with my sticks through the years,” Firth says. “For this, I most graciously thank you all!” I really love drum sticks, sticks, sticks and more sticks so if you just love sticks and percussion like me check back often. Any Questions? I look Forward and Thank You.
