Vic Firth Corpsmaster Signature Snare Drumsticks - Ralph Hardimon

Comments:

Been using these for many years for warm-ups and practice. Very well-balanced and lighter than, say, the Tom Float sticks.

I am on the snare line in the U of Illinois marching Illini drum and ordered two pairs of these sticks as backups for sticks we already receive directly from Vic firth. Both pairs I received were quite lighter than the ones directly from Vic firth, seemed completely hollow, had a strange bounce off the drum and split after a week of playing. Absolutely horrible quality wood. Two pairs exactly the same

Our drumline has used Ralph Hardimon's for at least the past seven years. Never was a fan of the new paint coating, but they have a good feel and produce a good sound for our needs. The older members of our line will go through two or three pairs a season.

Probably the best sticks used for practicing. Practicing. When playing on a drum they tend to wear away faster than most sticks I've used(not that it costs a lot to replace them) However the sound from these sticks is incomparable, they sound amazing. Not too deep, not too light, but are great! Would definitely recommend getting these in your arsenal!

These sticks have great balance, good rebound, and great feel. The big problem with them is you need 3-5 pairs to last you a season depending how much you practice. They break easily and the wood chips away easily causing the sound and weights to differ. Personally, I prefer Innovative Percussion's Jim Casella marching sticks and that's what I'd recommend.
