Vic Firth
Vic Firth Benny Greb Signature Hickory Drumsticks, Short Teardrop Tip
Vic Firth Benny Greb signature sticks: a 5B shaft and a short teardrop tip, for precise cymbals and a lively rebound.
The Vic Firth Benny Greb is a signature hickory stick with a 5B shaft (16 in, 0.595 in), a medium taper and a shortened teardrop tip. That small bead focuses the sound on cymbals and sends the stick back with a good rebound.
What sets it apart
- Shortened teardrop tip
- Focused cymbal sound
- Excellent rebound
The tip makes the difference
Benny Greb, whom Vic Firth calls a master of groove, kept the base of a 5B and worked on the end. Shortening the teardrop reduces the surface that meets the cymbal: the sound becomes more focused and less spread out. The medium taper keeps the balance between hand and tip, and Vic Firth points to the excellent rebound that follows.
