VIC FIRTH
The Vic Firth NOVA ROCK hickory drumsticks are engineered for drummers who demand maximum power and reach for hard-hitting rock and metal performance. Manufactured in the USA from premium American hickory, these drumsticks combine professional Vic Firth quality with exceptional value. The NOVA ROCK model features extended length for increased leverage and a shorter taper design that creates a front-heavy balance, delivering serious striking power to drive aggressive grooves. The teardrop-shaped wood tip provides focused articulation on cymbals and full-bodied drum tones. Crafted from select hickory using the same precision manufacturing process as Vic Firth American Classic drumsticks, each pair is weight-matched and tone-paired using proprietary Vic Firth technology to ensure consistency and optimal performance. The medium taper provides excellent balance between power and control, while the durable hickory construction offers superior shock absorption and longevity under heavy playing conditions. Versatile enough for applications ranging from pop and indie rock through to the heaviest metal styles. Available in natural or black finish options. Ideal for practice sessions, studio recording, and live performance where volume and projection are essential.
