Vic Firth Review: 2B

History:

Purchase: Not a bad price for this stick. At Hume Music for only $10. This stick is what I needed for some heavy playing.

What I Like About This Vic Firth 2B: This stick is an awsome stick. It has a tear drop tip for dark drum and cymbal sounds. If you want to start a heavy metal band this stick will really make loud noises on the drums. As for the dark cymbal sounds, that is awsome. The cymbals sound really creepy but cool with the 2B's tear drop tip. Vic Firth definitely makes good sticks.

What I Do NOT Like About The Vic Firth 2B: It's a bit heavy. A Vater 5B is lighter than this stick. I'm not saying the stick sucks, but if you want to play faster, I'd use the Wuv signiature sticks.

Vic Firth 2B Quality Rating: Hickory Length = 16 1/4" Diameter = .630" Ideal for heavy rock, band, and practice. Not ideal for fast playing or jazz.

Review Summary: It is really good for heavy metal. After using them for a while, and then switching back to a lighter stick, you can play faster than ever!
