Product Description
Crafted from select pieces of persimmon — A wood known for its rigidity and ability to generate dark tones — The Vic Firth SCS1 is a premium Symphonic snare drum stick for the serious player. An evolution of the SD1, the SCS1 is slightly longer and thicker, featuring an extended taper and thinner neck for unbelievable response and dark tones. The SCS1 is also manufactured with a tighter tone spec, resulting in higher pitched sticks that feel great and perform beautifully.

Ottime per peso e bilanciamento. Ottime per dinamiche, press roll e rulli misurati.

Son love them and says they're perfect for concert band. We had a friend custom burn some lettering on the lower part of the sticks and it worked out great. Resealing the finish went just fine as well. Overall really impressed with the quality of these sticks.

Vic Firth scs1 comprate con curiosità per studiare il tamburo sono diventate le mie bacchette preferite anche sulla batteria. Adoro la risposta sui piatti della punta tonda. La lunghezza, il peso, il bilanciamento e la densità del legno le rendono chirurgiche ad ogni variazione dinamica. Il suono che si ottiene è leggermente più scuro rispetto ad una bacchetta in Hickory. Per chi volesse provare ad utilizzarle sulla batteria sappia che le bacchette sono più pesanti e più rigide delle normali bacchette da drum set. Sono anche bellissime esteticamente.

I have done a lot of concert percussion. These are my go to sticks. They have a perfect weight and they have great durability. It only took me a few months to break other sticks. These are still going strong. And show very little ware even after hitting them on snare rims. Something in my experience has heavily damaged other sticks. If you need good sticks these are my #1 for concert percussion.

These sticks were specified by my son's Percussion ensemble director (I'm sure there's a reason). However, regardless of that, my son really likes these. He's had a couple different sets and these are his favorite......although admittedly previous sets were less pricey than these :)

I'm not a Vic Firth guy. I don't like most of their sticks. In fact, I can't even play with their SD1s anymore (at least not on my pads) as they feel like they're going to break in half with the next stroke. I've seen Firth sticks shredded from simple rim shots. I play mostly IPs and Vatars. But I picked up a pair of these to see how they'd work and for the most part, I'm glad I did. I can see using these for lighter and softer concert pieces that I play now and then that my IP1 sticks may be a little too heavy for.I especially like the ball tip (I really don't like any other tip, but that's just me) and the Vatar like finish on the stick. The cool think about Firths -- and I didn't realize this until recently -- was that the Firth logo start at the approximate place where your (matched) grip starts. In other words, it is a good reference. So that's a plus. I can't see myself practicing with this stick much, especially on the drum pad, as it is too light weight compared to my IP sticks but the wood density is as good as the IPs. About the only knock on this stick is the price. It is way overpriced for what I would term a one-hit (pardon the pun) stick, that is, it is really only useful for light (soft) snare playing in a concert setting. I don't think you want to use this stick to play a Sousa or King march, for example. But you might get away with, say, something that starts out soft and builds. That's probably what I'll use it for.

My go to pair. I like the heavy weight of them and I prefer a round tip over any other. Perfect for my playing style
