Vic Firth Heritage Brush - Rubber Handle

I couldn't believe that i found these stix. They are probably the longest pair i have ever used, and they have a great barrel shaped tip. Honestly i am going to buy two more pair just to have them. Totally worth it and they definitely help me mix up my dynamics and allow for a rich wealth of musical creation. And theyre really cool looking which is almost as important as their great functional quality. lol

New to drumming and these are great. Good build, easy to play. Recommend!

My son says these are great.

Amazing brushes that’s great for jazz. It’s comfortable because of the grippy rubber handle and can be used for many styles of jazz. Easy to use and versatile.

Wow. Just wow. For years I used vic SD1. It's a big heavy stick and it's exactly what I needed to play the hard heavy stuff. Then I got decades older and the music I played was lighter, sometimes acoustic, sometimes small venues, and maybe more importantly, I wanted to feel the music not smash my way though it.So I opted for vics 5a and for awhile it was OK. Better than OK. But the stick didn't fit some of the songs we were playing. So I ordered a 7a. Oh I live 2 hours from the closest music store so I did trial and error with my friend, Mr Amazon.At first I hated the 7a. Felt like a baby stick in my hand. I marked up one 7a so they were mine. Tossed them in my Closet thinking never to be heard from or seen again. About a month later a new pair of hats showed up and I pulled out the 7a's to hear and feel the difference between 5a and 7a in the hats.The 7a won out. But the 7a still felt small in my hands. I got used to it though. Then I saw the gadd sticks and said let's give them a try.This stick is the absolute perfect stick for me. Longer than the 7a. A tad shorter than the 5a. More bulk than the 7a. Not much. In fact very little. But the stick feels a lot larger. And get this, the stick feels lighter than the 7a, but feels bigger than my 5a.Sure this might not make sense. But it does to me. The feel of this stick in my hand is wonderful. The absolute best. The sound off the hats and cymbals is superb.The rebound on these sticks blows the 5a awayThe one caveat, if it is one, if you cross stick, plan on the black paint chipping away. I crash with the tip of my stick but I have noticed how easily the plant flakes off when cross sticking.One more thing. If you like to see the VF flag to find the perfect rebound point, you don't want these sticks. The silver writing, with the flag, will disappear once you use the sticks. For me the flag and the bottom of the writing was gone after a 2 hour show. No biggie for me though.Otherwise I love this stick!!!

Not much experience with brushes but it’s good brand name. Can’t go wrong.

Good

10 of 10 the best match i could ask for as a drummer!it fits well on my hand and it's not heavy at all , i use to play with 7A and a jazz stylenice design as vic firth only knows to produce.
