Vic Firth drumsticks for jazz and a light touch
The Vic Firth AJ2 American Jazz 2 is a hickory drumstick for players looking for plenty of rebound on drums and ride cymbal. Developed within the American Jazz line, these drumsticks combine a 5A shaft with a light touch, helping you play with control and flow.
The small tear drop tip keeps the attack focused, while the neck is sizeable enough to bring out darker cymbal sounds. That makes this Vic Firth drumstick a strong option if you want nuance in your cymbal work without losing definition.
