Barrel tip. Light and fast for jazz quartet or chamber music.
The American Custom line consists of a variety of models conceived and engineered by Vic Firth — performer and educator. The first manufacturer to apply the concept of a round striking surface to drumstick design, Vic developed the other originals that complete the line with jazz, pop and rock players in mind.
American Custom sticks are turned from select rock maple for a light, fast-playing stick with great flex and rebound. The Custom line is perfect for the artist who is playing lighter types of music or prefers a beefier stick without a lot of weight.
