The American Custom® line consists of a variety of models conceived and engineered by Vic Firth – performer and teacher. The first manufacturer to apply the concept of a round striking surface to drumstick design, Vic developed the other originals that complete the line with jazz players in mind. All models are turned from select rock maple for a light, fast-playing stick with great flex and rebound. The Custom line is perfect for the artist who is playing lighter types of music, or prefers a beefier stick without a lot of weight. The SD2 Bolero features a round tip. Perfect for light jazz‚ studio‚ orchestral and pit work. Length = 15 3/4", Diameter = .635"
