The Vic Firth American Custom SD1 drumsticks are the industry standard for a versatile, all-purpose stick. Crafted from select rock maple, these 16.38″ sticks feature a 0.635″ diameter and a round wood tip that delivers warm, full-bodied cymbal tones and articulate drum attack. With a short taper for added power and durability, the SD1 is ideal for everything from orchestral and concert band work to rock, pop, and practice sessions. Renowned as one of the best-selling sticks ever made, the SD1 ensures consistent balance, rebound, and feel for drummers of all styles.
