In collaboration with world-renown drummer and educator Mike Johnston, Vic Firth has developed a new drumstick profile that is uniquely Mike, but truly designed for players everywhere. Mike’s goal was to create a stick that could get out of your way and let you focus on developing your skill behind the kit. Mike pored over every design choice possible to find a tip shape, taper, length, diameter, material, and overall performance that would combine to make the best possible drumstick to leave you with NO EXCUSES to progressing on your drumming journey.

• With a diameter between a 5A and 5B, this stick will feel instantly comfortable for almost any drummer
• The long taper offers an impressive balance and response
• The modified barrel tip offers great feel and a focused yet slightly darker cymbal sound.
• Length: 16" 
• Taper: Long
• Tip: Small Barrel
• Material: US Hickory
• Finish: Clear Lacquer
