Vic Firth VicTape Drumstick Grip Tape
Vic Firth VicTape is a tape you wrap around your sticks so they stop slipping out of your hands. Ultra-thin, it soaks up sweat and has a velvety texture, without making the grip any thicker.
What sets it apart
- Cuts down slipping
- Absorbs sweat despite being thin
- Velvety, comfortable texture
- Reusable several times
The flying stick
Every drummer has watched a stick escape mid-show. VicTape goes after the cause: a damp hand on smooth lacquer. Wrapped once around the grip area, it stays put, and Vic Firth says it's durable enough to use more than once.
