Presentation
Vic Firth AJ3 American Jazz sticks are for drummers who want a very light feel, with a natural bounce and great fluidity. Their slim diameter, close to an 8D format, gives the impression of a stick that responds almost on its own under the fingers.
The long taper plays a central role in this sensation: it adds suppleness, promotes bounce and makes playing faster without any extra effort. The slimmer body reduces the overall weight, which facilitates smooth dynamics and fast phrases, particularly suited to jazz.
The tear drop keeps the sound precise and controlled on both cymbals and drums. The result is a highly responsive stick designed for light, articulate and expressive playing. It retains the quality hickory construction typical of the American Jazz series, with a lacquered finish and a balance geared towards finesse.
