Vic Firth SD2 Bolero Maple -Wood-

Tolle Jazz Sticks

Die Sticks klingen absolut super auf jedem Becken. Ich mag persönlich eher leichte dünne Becken, aber mit diesen Sticks klingt echt jedes noch so dicke, pingige Becken gleich deutlich besser. Dadurch dass die Sticks ziemlich dick aber super leicht sind, hat man nen ziemlichen großen Dynamikspielraum, außerdem haben sie super Rebound.

Never going back to hickory

I love these so much, they have the perfect thick diameter while being very light!

Amazing stick control, balance and overall construction

Good strength, quick response

The best consert stick ever made!

I've been using these sticks since early 2000's. Since than they have as far as i know only changed the but end sligthly.

Perfect sticks that sadly don't last long

I love the size, weight, feel and sound of these sticks. They are just perfect for me. However, they don't last long under heavy playing. They break easily at the tip or at the neck. Wish they were a bit more durable or wish I could afford having fresh sticks at all times.. Then these SD2 Bolero would be THE stick of my choice.

The tip gets really small overtime

I know maple is a softer wood compared to hickory but the tips of these sticks shrink overtime, the are like a little tiny ball now. Straaaaange.

Great ride sound

Beautiful ride sound, nice rather heavy balance, next to Peter Erskine Ride Sticks my favourite pair.

These are good.

Even though I prefer thinner sticks, I really like how these feel. Vic Firth never fails when it comes to quality drumming gear!

Great sound

I use them to play jazz drums mostly, I really love the sound that the tip get to the cymbals, like a very articulated and clear sticking. The only disadvantage is that the tips don't last a lot , because they are small and the stick is quite thick so that happens...

my pair of sticks.

I have been playing professionally drums for about 20 years already and In the past 8 or so these are the only sticks I play. The maple makes them pretty light although they are quite fat in diameter so they are definitely not as heavy as a hickory stick this size would be. I like the natural sound of the wood on the drums and the cymbals - the maple is way softer than hickory so if you are looking for a stick which is going to last long while playing heavy and loud music - this one is probably not for you cause is gonna break quickly and the tip is very small so soon you are not going to have any tip left. However, for jazz or styles that are played at softer volumes, I find this stick to be the best thing for me since it is big and fits the hand very well, it is light and is very well balanced - it has that classical-snare-drum feel to it. Another thing that maybe not so good for louder styles - it is relatively short so if you have a huge drum set and you are not very tall, this might be a slight problem...
