Vic Firth Signature Series Aaron Spears Hickory Drumsticks, Wood Tip, Lacquer, Pair

Features a unique taper that blends smoothly into the neck and then to the tip. Very well balanced, with great leverage. Named the best "Up and Coming" drummer in the 2006 Modern Drummer Readers' Poll, Aaron Spears broke onto the national scene with the D.C. based jazz/R&B/rock group known as the Gideon Band (GB). He has since gone on to work with artists such as James Brown, Alicia Keys, Usher and the American Idol tour.

"I have always loved the Vic Firth 3A," explains Aaron. "But given the chance to design my own stick, I knew I could come up with something that would be even better! We lengthened the taper and increased the overall length and I now have a stick that lets leverage do the work for me. These are my new favorite sticks and I think you will love them too!" Aaron's new Signature Stick is made of hickory and features a taper that blends smoothly into the neck and then to the tip. This creates a very well balanced stick and one that plays as well as it looks!
