Questions frequently asked
What music styles are the SGH drumsticks suitable for?
Made from hickory, they are designed for hip-hop, R&B, neo-soul, funk, and pop repertoires. The very short taper promotes a strong backbeat and controlled hi-hat patterns.
What are the diameter and length of these drumsticks?
With a diameter of 1.45 cm and a listed length of 41.44 cm, this pair offers a comfortable grip.
What sound is produced on cymbals with the barrel tip?
The wooden barrel tip produces a midrange-rich spectrum on cymbals. On closed hi-hat, the ping remains precise. When played more flat, the wash becomes fuller with controlled sustain.
Is the balance suitable for rimshots and accents?
The forward-oriented weight enhances the attack and projection of rimshots. The firm rebound aids control of accents and ghost notes on the snare drum.
What are the features of the Vic Firth SGH Gerald Heyward Signature sticks?
The combination of a short shoulder, a very short taper, and a barrel tip concentrates the balance towards the front. The natural finish preserves the direct feel of hickory.
