Vic Firth STATH Tom Aungst Tenor Hybrid Sticks blend the sound of a snare stick with the feel of a traditional tenor mallet. Field tested with the 2007 DCI Silver Medalist Cadets Drum & Bugle Corps, this unique product is very well balanced and creates a great quality of sound that blends beautifully with the snare and bass voice within the marching ensemble.
The handle features a "step-down" design for grip comfort and creates a shaft dimension that makes for an ideal stick weight. The "rim-shot zone" is perfectly placed just before the pronounced taper which creates an excellent rebound. With the perfect tip shape and size, this product assists the player in getting around the drums easily while producing a great sound.
Additionally, the Vic Firth STATH Tom Aungst Tenor Hybrid is a great choice for Indoor Marching where assistance in achieving clarity is a decided plus!
Length: 15 3/4"
Diameter: .700" at butt, .650" at shaft

Riiight
These are excellent implements. I submit that anyone who's players are going through these within 3 of playing has some pretty poorly trained players. lol No matter what you use, it ultimately comes down to technique. These sticks have surprisingly good consistency across different pairs and weight as well. I do wish they were just a tad longer for large configuration quad kits, but overall these are a 10! (well, a 5 here) lol.

They don't give the best response to the tenors. Also my tenor players go through a pair of these sticks within 3 hours of playing so..... I don't recommend these sticks for playing, sound, or durability!

yea they will work
These sticks are really quite nice, but having a thinker shaft with no taper until the end makes for a fairly odd feeling for a while. It is certainly something that anyone can become accustomed to after a while, but I wouldn't recommend picking them up and expecting to use them halfway through a season.
