Lay down a surgically clean rhythmic foundation with Ash Soan's Vic Firth Signature. Developed in close collaboration with one of the UK's most sought-after and respected studio drummers, this pair of sticks is the ultimate recording and live tool.

Designed to adapt instantly to the demands of modern pop productions and the powerful dynamics of rock, it takes the familiar proportions and universal comfort of the classic 5A size (1.40 cm in diameter and 40.60 cm long) and injects it with major acoustic optimisations.

The neck is crafted from top-quality American hickory wood to guarantee excellent longevity, and features the exclusive DoubleGlaze lacquered surface treatment. This translucent coating offers a subtly sticky feel under the fingers, maximising grip and preventing unexpected slippage even when playing intensifies.

But the real highlight of this signature model is its barrel-shaped wooden olive. Coupled with a medium neck, this geometric headstock delivers generous sound volume, clean impact and absolutely impeccable note clarity, bringing out every nuance with pure musicality.

If you listen to the radio or the UK charts, you'll already have heard Ash Soan. Based in the UK, he is one of the most prolific, active and influential session drummers in the modern music industry. His reputation has been built on his 'big sound' on the snare drum and a sense of rhythmic placement that's frighteningly effective in popular music.

Over the course of his rich career, he has recorded drum tracks for major global artists such as Adele, Sam Smith, Robbie Williams, Taylor Swift, Enrique Iglesias, Cher and Seal. A regular member of The Voice UK band, his ability to instantly deliver the perfect groove for any style of song makes him an absolute studio reference, a unique skill materialised in his signature pair of drumsticks.
