Vic Firth, Inc.

Vic Firth is a well-known maker of drumsticks and percussion mallets, with a product line that includes sticks for drum kits and marching percussion. The catalog includes American Classic and American Custom sticks, the Corpsmaster line for marching snare and tenor drummers, keyboard mallets, signature models designed with well-known players, stick bags, isolation headphones, earplugs and branded apparel, all sold through an official online store.

The brand was founded in 1963 by Vic Firth, the longtime principal timpanist of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, who started making sticks because he could not find ones that met his standards. In 2010 the company became part of the Avedis Zildjian Company, the cymbal maker based in Norwell on the South Shore. Vic Firth himself died in 2015, and the company continues under his name with sticks, mallets and practice gear.
