Vic Firth Steve Gadd Signature Drum Sticks

The Studio Standard for Groove and Nuance

The Vic Firth Steve Gadd Signature Drum Sticks are iconic, representing the meticulous approach to drumming that has made Steve Gadd a living legend in the studio and on stage. These were the original Vic Firth signature sticks, designed in close collaboration with Gadd to achieve his specific requirements for feel, balance, and sound. Crafted from premium hickory, they offer a durable yet responsive feel, essential for the subtle ghost notes and powerful grooves that define Gadd's unparalleled style.

This stick features a distinctive barrel-shaped wood tip, which produces a warm, dark, and articulate sound on cymbals and a full, rich tone on drums, making them exceptionally well-suited for recording applications. The relatively thin diameter and longer taper provide an excellent rebound and a responsive feel, allowing for incredible control and speed. Whether you're laying down a solid backbeat or executing intricate fills, the Steve Gadd Signature sticks deliver the precision and musicality expected from one of drumming's true masters. While typically found with a classic black finish, a natural clear finish version is also available.
