Vic Firth Adds New Signature and American Concept® Sticks

Harvey Mason, Alex Acuna, and Will Calhoun

January 29, 1998 -- Vic Firth Inc., the world's leading drumstick manufacturer, is adding three new drumsticks to its popular line of Vic Firth Signature and American Concept® drumsticks. Alex Acuna and Harvey Mason are long established and well respected Vic Firth artists. Both have brought a newly designed stick to the market. Will Calhoun is a recent and welcomed addition to the Vic Firth family of percussionists.

Alex Acunas unique style of playing requires an equally unique style of stick. His new hickory drumset stick features a long tapered shoulder with a reverse taper at the neck for fast cymbal response and excellent feel. Its blunt-nosed barrel tip provides a broad and deep cymbal sound. The stick dimensions are 16 3/8" in length with a thickness of .545". The model number is SAA3.

Harvey Mason uses a slightly scaled down version of his original Signature model when he needs a lighter touch and extra definition on the cymbals. This hickory stick with brown stain finish features a thinner neck for fast response and a smaller round tip with clear finish for an incredible cymbal sound. The stick dimensions are 16" in length with a thickness of .545". The model number is SHM2.

Vic Firth's new hickory stick for Will Calhoun features a medium round tip with a short taper for strength and extra length for greater playing leverage. The stick dimensions are 16 1/2" in length with a thickness of .575". The model number is WC.
