collapse expand iconDescription

The versatility and effortless flow that Nate Smith is known for comes to life perfectly in his Signature Series stick from Vic Firth. For nearly two decades, Nate Smith has been impacting the music scene with his visceral, instinctive and deep-rooted style of drumming. Not bound by genre, his playing moves effortlessly from jazz to fusion, R&B to hip-hop, pop to rock and everywhere in between. His signature sticks are slightly thinner than a 7A in the grip, with added length and a medium taper for a smooth response and impeccable balance. The rounded barrel tip allows for articulation at any angle and lets you pull serious sound out of your cymbals.

    I've been back and forth between 7a's and 5a's forever depending on music style, and although these say they're thinner than 7a's, they feel more like a half way in-between stick to me she I play them. I like the wood tips for a warmer, more controlled sound compared to nylon, which have a tenancy to attack cymbals a bit too much at times. They're really great all-around sticks, I'm quickly adopting them as my primary sticks to have multiple pairs of in my stick bag.

  • Love the tone, size and weight!

    As a hobbyist drummer (~6 yrs into my playing now) with average size hands, I love how these sticks feel and sound. I've been playing these sticks daily for about a year now. The diameter is perfect for my hand shape and the weight feels just right. Sometimes, with other sticks I'm maybe too conscious of the weight and where they're balanced, but with these I'm not thinking about any of that and I feel like my hands can move with efficiency. The tone of the tips on cymbal is pleasing to me and I feel like they deliver a solid crack on the snare. I hope these stay in production for years to come!

  • Good bead shape and feel

    I know that there is methods used to get weight and pitch matched pairs of sticks but I feel like they're not consistent at all. Walking into a store I usually have to shuffle through at least 5 pairs of sticks to find a set that is actually pitch matched, and buying online it's always a hit or miss.
