Vic Firth American Custom SD1 Drumsticks - General

The Vic Firth SD1 General Drumsticks are one of the most popular and versatile drumsticks ever made. Designed for a wide range of playing situations, the SD1 is an excellent choice for concert band, orchestra, percussion ensemble, practice, and drum set.

Originally designed by Vic Firth while he was performing with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the SD1 was created to provide the balance, feel, and response he wanted for snare drum playing when existing sticks didn’t meet his needs.

Part of Vic Firth’s American Custom Series, the SD1 General is made from high-quality rock maple, providing a lightweight feel with excellent response. Its small round tip delivers clear articulation, while the short taper provides added control and durability.

Each pair is carefully matched for weight and pitch to deliver the consistent feel Vic Firth is known for.
