Description
How It’s Made Matters
Since 1963 we have led the way in developing how drumsticks and mallets are made. From our wood drying process and centreless grinding production methods, through to the individual pitch pairing and weight-matching of every pair of sticks that we produce, every detail matters.
Attention Is Everything
Our USA based factory combines the consistencies of technology and machine processing, with the discerning eyes and ears of drummers, percussionists and wood experts. Every step of our process is manned by human hands. It is this attention to detail that yields the perfect blend of durability, feel, and sound.
Collaboration is Key
Vic Firth works closely with some of the very best drummers and percussionists from around the world to produce drumsticks that capture a wide range of feel and sound. From Classical to Rock, Jazz to Folk, Marching Band to Pop the Vic Firth range has got it covered.

VIC DIDN'T SETTLE. NEITHER SHOULD YOU.
Our journey began in the late 50’s/early 60’s when Vic Firth, a musician himself, was not satisfied with the variety of sticks and mallets he could find in the market. As the Principal Timpanist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, he started crafting his own sticks and mallets in his garage, meticulously poring over specs and details until he made exactly what he needed for his own feel and quality of sound. Sometimes he would whittle the sticks by hand, other times he enlisted the help of a wood turner. As word of his implements spread through his students and other percussionists, calls for orders from music stores started coming in. Vic’s idea that each drummer should be able to find their own perfect pair, and not simply settle for what's out there, is at the core of our brand. Our catalog now includes over 200 varieties of sticks and mallets that range in length, taper, tip, and material.. all designed to help you find a match for your own feel and your quality of sound.
