Overview
A marching tenor line is where these Vic Firth Corpsmaster sticks belong, built for players moving across several drums. The nylon tip has a small contact area that pulls more sound from each head, and the hickory shaft has a medium taper.
Projection with definition is the reason to choose them: the small nylon tip gives a focused attack that carries outdoors. They are a specialist tool, so drum kit players will find them long and narrow in purpose.
Who it's for
Drum corps and marching band tenor players who go through sticks during a season. Kit drummers and orchestral players should look at sticks designed for their setup.
Pros and cons
- Nylon tips resist chipping on heads
- Focused attack for clear runs
- Three pairs for rehearsals and backups
- Consistent feel across the set
- Built for tenors, narrow use
- Painted finish can wear with use
- Bundle cloth is the only extra
Performance notes
Sound projection comes from the nylon tip and its reduced contact area, which concentrates each stroke into a sharper attack. The medium taper balances the stick in the hand so rebound stays even when moving between drums.
