A very thick and short stick perfect for heavy playing in rock and metal.
I like to use this stick to practice my rudiments, as the thickness helps develop endurance and speed.
Quality is A+ as you expect from Vic Firth.
My only con with this for me is the white paint which is just my opinion, you might think it makes it cooler! Luckily it doesn't change the feel of the stick which I've seen happen with a few other colored sticks.
This stick can take a beating as well, perfect if you're a heavy hitter using rim shots a lot.
