Vic Firth SCS1 - Persimmon

Product Description

The Vic Firth SCS1 Persimmon Snare General is a snare stick developed from the classic SD1 General, made from persimmon instead of maple for a darker, fuller tone. The stick is longer and slightly thicker, with a longer taper and thinner neck, giving increased attack sound on the drum. A stick for percussionists who want control and clarity in orchestral settings.

Sound and Feel

Using persimmon instead of maple gives the SCS1 a darker, fuller tone and a clearer attack sound against the head. The longer taper and thinner neck shift the balance in the hand compared to the SD1 General, something many percussionists appreciate in symphonic settings where every nuance is heard.

Part of the Symphonic Collection

The SCS1 is part of Vic Firth's Symphonic Collection, a range of snare sticks and other classical models developed together with some of the world's leading orchestral percussionists. The sticks in the series are made from carefully selected raw material and checked to meet the highest international standards.
