Hi All,
I have received lots of questions about my sticks since I posted the drumstick comparison video last week. Hopefully this video will answer most of those questions.
In this video I talk about the creation of my Vic Firth Signature stick that I have been using for the last 30 years.
I designed these sticks around 30 years ago after my search for the perfect set stick continued to fail. The sticks have great articulation, balance and a nice solid weight to them. In my opinion it is a great all-round stick, and it especially shines in the jazz arena when playing on thin hand hammered cymbals such as old k’s, Bosphorus, Istanbul, Dream, Sabian Vault and Paiste Traditionals.
For the first time I am making this stick available to the general public. They are available in maple (50 to 55 grams) and hickory (heavier at 60 to 65 grams).
You can purchase them from me if you email me at rickdior@lweedman
Thanks and Stay Well.
