Vic Firth David Garibaldi Signature Drumsticks (SGD)

The Funk Machine: Articulate, Balanced, and Perfect for Rhythmic Precision

The Vic Firth David Garibaldi Signature Drumsticks (model SGD) are a masterpiece of design, meticulously crafted to meet the specific demands of the legendary funk drummer of Tower of Power.1 These sticks are a must-have for any drummer looking to emulate Garibaldi's intricate, articulate, and highly precise grooves. With their unique dimensions and tip shape, they are engineered for exceptional balance and responsiveness.2

The drumsticks are made from select Hickory, a wood known for its resilience, strength, and durability, providing a classic and reliable feel.3 They feature a unique profile that is thicker than a standard 5A but thinner than a 5B, giving them a solid feel without being overly heavy. The stick's most distinctive feature is its unique tip, which is a combination of a barrel and an acorn shape. This rounded tip provides a clear, full, and articulate sound on cymbals, making it perfect for complex ride cymbal patterns and nuanced hi-hat work. The stick has a relatively short taper, which moves the weight more towards the front, providing excellent power and a solid rebound.4 The result is a stick that delivers great control for ghost notes, yet has enough weight for powerful backbeats. The Vic Firth David Garibaldi Signature sticks are a testament to Garibaldi's innovative drumming style, offering a tool that inspires creative and precise rhythmic exploration.5
