Vic Firth AJ4 American Jazz

Product Description

The AJ4 American Jazz belongs to Vic Firth's classic American Classic series – a line built up over nearly 40 years that has helped make the company one of the largest drumstick manufacturers in the world. The AJ4 is made from hickory, a wood that offers good strength relative to its weight and absorbs some of the shock on impact, which many players find easier on the hands during long sessions.

The stick has a wood tip, giving a round, warm attack on cymbals and drumheads rather than the sharp, defined "tick" of a nylon tip. That makes the AJ4 a natural choice for jazz and other settings where a fuller, more organic sound is wanted, while still allowing plenty of dynamic range – from light, brushed comping to clearly marked accents.

At 406 mm (16") long with a 13 mm (0.512") diameter, the AJ4 sits on the slimmer side of Vic Firth's range, giving it quickness in the hand and making it comfortable to play for extended periods. A solid choice if you play jazz or acoustic settings and want a stick built on decades of tradition and consistent quality.
