Medium hard. For general playing on the entire instrument, with excellent clarity in the upper range and rich tones in the lower and mid-ranges.
We drummers are indebted to Vic Firth for completely changing the way sticks are manufactured and sold. Vic Firth is the leader in the stick business, and there's a reason for that. The quality of Vic's products are top flight and completely player-oriented. Vic knows sticks!
