Vic Firth SGRE Matt Greiner Signature

I love these sticks! I tend to sweat quite a bit when I play and I'm a hard hitter, so having sticks that are just bare, unfinished wood is perfect for me. They have good grip without having to add stick tape or any other additional grip, they won't fly out of your hands and you don't have to cramp up your hands trying to hold onto them. The sticks can take a beating as well, I bought 4 pairs about a year and a half ago and I'm still on my second pair! Great tone and response from the wood as well, the tip sounds great on a heavy ride.

Been using these for 1.5 years now and haven't found anything better yet! Matt is my favorite drummer, but the bias is minimal. With my first first experience of them I felt as if the kit in my small room was miced up, not for sound obviously, but I felt power with every hit. The tip is just great to look at, but unfortunately I ware them down pretty quick. The sound of them on a tight hi-hat or ride is exactly the way you want it to sound.
It took me a while to get used to the non coated feel, but when I did I will find it hard going back if I change sticks some day.

I love them! They're my favorite drum sticks because they are slightly longer than a normal stick, so they have more reach and power and, because Matt Greiner is my favorite drummer!

Perfect balance between light and heavy. Elongated shaft helps to hit cymbals better.
