VFSRH Ralph Hardimon Wood Tip : Ralph Hardimon's for life!

I started using these sticks in 1996 and have never chosen a different pair of field sticks since. The balance is perfect and for the marching guru, these should be the only sticks you own for the field. After marching for 5 years along with a year in drum corps, these sticks constantly hold up but I do recommend wrapping them with tape as rim shots will tear them up quickly as would any stick. While the weight of them can be surprising at first for beginners, this weight is vital as you need the weight for more projection of sound through the snare all the way to the snare head. Even at light playing, you will still have a perfect hit with the way the tips have been rounded. Give them a try! You won't be disappointed!
