Product Review: Vic Firth Practice Quieter
by Kyle Christy
Practice Quieter
Vic Firth drum sticks are the leading brand in sticks. I’ve been playing VF since the day I picked up the sticks. They’re my right hand man, 5B’s to exact. I would take them anywhere and everywhere along with the HQ ReelFeel 14inch practice pad. I’m a drummer that likes to make one trip with my gear. Having a 14 inch pad is the last thing I’m looking to load! Vic Firth knows most drummers are this way and brought the million dollar idea to the table. The CHOP OUT! VF offers Three styles.
“5BCO” Practice Sticks with rubber tips also referred to as Firth’s 5B “Chop-Out” Practice Sticks. These useful practice sticks have a rubber tip for quiet practice. The sticks have an elongated taper to simulate the balance of the 5B.
“MS6CO” Special taper to simulate the authentic feel of the MS5 Marching Snare stick. Great For practice‚ or for creating unique sound color possibilities on the drum. In Hickory.
The Hardimon “Hammer” The ultimate workout stick!
I use the 5BCO everyday just to keep me going when I’m not sitting behind the kit. This is a must have for every drummers stick bag!
