Vic Firth Marcus Gilmore Signature Drumsticks

Designed for Modern Jazz, Dynamic Range, and Fluid Expression

The Vic Firth Marcus Gilmore Signature Drumsticks are meticulously crafted in collaboration with one of modern jazz drumming's most influential voices, known for his incredible versatility, melodic improvisation, and seamless blend of traditional and contemporary styles. These sticks are designed to be a natural extension of the drummer's hands, offering unparalleled fluidity, dynamic sensitivity, and articulation crucial for navigating complex musical landscapes. Crafted from select hickory, they provide a durable and responsive feel that supports both precision and expressive power.

The Marcus Gilmore signature stick features a unique profile that is slightly longer and thinner than a traditional 5A, with a relatively long taper culminating in a small, oval-shaped wood tip. This specific design promotes an incredibly fast rebound, a light and agile feel, and exceptional control, making it ideal for intricate cymbal patterns, delicate ghost notes, and swift, melodic fills. The small, oval tip provides clear, articulate cymbal sounds without being overpowering, and offers a focused, warm attack on drums, allowing every nuance of your playing to come through. These sticks are a favorite among jazz and fusion drummers, as well as those who prioritize feel, subtle dynamics, and the ability to enhance the music with sophisticated grooves and melodic improvisations.
