Vic Firth American Custom SD4 Combo

Product Description

The Vic Firth American Custom SD4 Combo is a light, fast-playing stick turned from select maple, made for players who want control and finesse rather than raw power. Slightly shorter and thinner than average, it features a wooden barrel tip that gives a round, warm attack with smooth rebound – ideal for jazz combo or chamber music, or any setting where you need to keep the volume down without losing feel.

The medium taper keeps the stick balanced and flexible in the hand, so it plays fast while still giving a bit on softer passages. Because it's turned from maple rather than hickory, the SD4 Combo is noticeably lighter than a comparable stick, which many drummers appreciate over long sets.

The SD4 Combo belongs to the American Custom line, Vic Firth's range of models conceived with jazz players in mind. All eleven models in the line are turned from select rock maple for a light, fast-playing stick with great flex and rebound – a good fit for anyone who wants a beefier stick without the extra weight.
