When a score calls for subtle playing without losing the richness of the tone, the Vic Firth SMH Symphonic Collection Signature Matt Howard concert sticks make all the difference.

Made from laminated birch, they provide the mass needed to produce a full-bodied sound, whilst their long, curved-profile shank (Swoop Taper) redistributes the balance to deliver a quick rebound with minimal effort.

Their length of 43.18 cm and diameter of 1.60 cm provide excellent stability, ideal for mastering the most delicate nuances on the snare drum.

Their large, round wooden olive tip produces a deep, warm and perfectly defined sound, even at low volumes. Finally, their unfinished finish preserves the natural feel of the wood and ensures a consistent grip during rehearsals and concerts alike.

Matt Howard holds the prestigious post of principal percussionist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic (LA Phil), one of the most dynamic and renowned orchestras in the United States.
