Description

The Vic Firth Steve Gadd Signature Wood Drumsticks developed in collaboration with legendary drummer Steve Gadd, featuring premium USA hickory construction, a long taper, and a barrel wood tip, these drumsticks deliver responsive rebound, articulate stick definition, and balanced control for practice, rehearsals, studio recording, and live performance. Designed with a slightly shorter profile than a traditional American Classic 5A, the Steve Gadd Signature model provides a compact, controlled feel while maintaining comfortable playability. The long taper enhances rebound and stick response, while the barrel wood tip produces warm, articulate sound across drums and cymbals with a natural attack suited to dynamic playing. Each pair is weight and pitch matched to provide a consistent playing experience.

    • Good hand feel and weight
Size: Other
Love these sticks. Good hand feel and weight. My 12 year old used them on an electric drum kit and for percussion (snare) in his school band.

    • Very Happy
Size: Other
I started using these sticks after my drum teacher turned me onto them, and they just felt right instantly. Steve Gadd is arguably the greatest drummer ever, and it's easy to see why he chose to give his endorsement on these. Perfect weight and balance, very versatile, and hard to break. The specialized tip makes a bright, full sound on the bell, too. The black paint will start to wear off around the taper, but no big deal - doesn't affect the sound or feel. Great delivery, no issues. Happy playing! ... show more

    • Great sticks
Size: Other
Review Image by Landon Cunningham
I use these for light rock and worship music. They're perfect for cymbal work and they pull a great sound out of the snare drum. I don't care of how they sound on the toms - I can't get enough power out of them at times. I don't care for the fact that they're black and the paint chips easily when I play on the rim or play a rim shot but, aesthetics aside, they're great, solid sticks! The length and size are great. ... show more

    • Amazing find and worth every penny.
Size: Other
I couldn't believe that i found these stix. They are probably the longest pair i have ever used, and they have a great barrel shaped tip. Honestly i am going to buy two more pair just to have them. Totally worth it and they definitely help me mix up my dynamics and allow for a rich wealth of musical creation. And theyre really cool looking which is almost as important as their great functional quality. lol ... show more

Wow. Just wow. For years I used vic SD1. It's a big heavy stick and it's exactly what I needed to play the hard heavy stuff. Then I got decades older and the music I played was lighter, sometimes acoustic, sometimes small venues, and maybe more importantly, I wanted to feel the music not smash my way though it. So I opted for vics 5a and for awhile it was OK. Better than OK. But the stick didn't fit some of the songs we were playing. So I ordered a 7a. Oh I live 2 hours from the closest music store so I did trial and error with my friend, Mr Amazon. At first I hated the 7a. Felt like a baby stick in my hand. I marked up one 7a so they were mine. Tossed them in my Closet thinking never to be heard from or seen again. About a month later a new pair of hats showed up and I pulled out the 7a's to hear and feel the difference between 5a and 7a in the hats. The 7a won out. But the 7a still felt small in my hands. I got used to it though. Then I saw the gadd sticks and said let's give them a try. This stick is the absolute perfect stick for me. Longer than the 7a. A tad shorter than the 5a. More bulk than the 7a. Not much. In fact very little. But the stick feels a lot larger. And get this, the stick feels lighter than the 7a, but feels bigger than my 5a. Sure this might not make sense. But it does to me. The feel of this stick in my hand is wonderful. The absolute best. The sound off the hats and cymbals is superb. The rebound on these sticks blows the 5a away The one caveat, if it is one, if you cross stick, plan on the black paint chipping away. I crash with the tip of my stick but I have noticed how easily the plant flakes off when cross sticking. One more thing. If you like to see the VF flag to find the perfect rebound point, you don't want these sticks. The silver writing, with the flag, will disappear once you use the sticks. For me the flag and the bottom of the writing was gone after a 2 hour show. No biggie for me though. Otherwise I love this stick!!! ... show more

    • Simply the best sticks I have ever used
Size: Other
Simply the best sticks I have ever used. I shopped around a bit on drum sticks over a few years. Tried medium sticks (5a), heavier sticks (5B, Jason Bonham signature, Gavin Harrison signature), and lighter sticks (7a, 8d), and a few more than I played for such a short time that I don't even remember how to characterize them. Then I found the Gadd Signature a few years ago and I haven't looked back. The instinct is to play these lightly, and they work magnificently for that purpose. You can play a symphony on your ride with the dynamics, and your hands will fly around your kit with precision. But you can, surprisingly, also get some heavy hits without losing any of the response, which puts this stick in a league of it's own. If you listen to Gadd's drumming, you know he's a master of playing with groove and subtlety, but he's also great at blasting out heavy fills that give life and energy to songs. These sticks capture that juxtaposition, and so strike the perfect balance. I've recommended these many times, and I've yet to have a disappointed friend. ... show more

-Great design! Love the Steve Gadd logo!!! -Finish is nice, but has a certain smell to it. Not a bad smell to me. -Feels very light but I get better balance and rebound from this stick than my 5A. I don't know if it's the barrel tip too(first time using it) but feels and sounds so nice! Looks awesome and it motivates me to practice more so it was a great buy!! I think I'll stick with these from now on!! ... show more
