Vic Firth drumsticks with quick rebound
The Vic Firth AJ6 American Jazz 6 is a hickory drumstick for players who want plenty of rebound on drum and ride cymbal. Within the American Jazz line, this model stands out for its long taper in the shaft, which contributes to a direct and comfortable feel while playing.
The AJ6 combines a 7A-like shaft with a very small neck and tip. That makes it easier to keep your playing under control while maintaining a focused attack, especially when you want to play with subtlety and restraint.
American Jazz 6 for cymbal work and detail
The neck is large enough to support dark cymbal sounds, while the small tear drop tip keeps the definition intact. In practice, this makes the drumstick appealing for drummers who want to bring out detail from their ride without playing too heavily.
With a length of 15 1/2 inch and a diameter of .550 inch, the Vic Firth AJ6 sits in a slim, agile size. The Natural Lacquer finish gives the stick its natural look.
