Product Information

These Vic Firth Ted Atkatz drumsticks, part of the Symphonic Collection, are designed for the discerning percussionist. Crafted in collaboration with former Chicago Symphony Orchestra principal percussionist Ted Atkatz, they offer remarkable control and clarity. The choice of persimmon wood lends a unique density and durability, delivering a rich, darker tone that’s ideal for concert settings.

The longer taper on these sticks promotes a back-heavy feel with more flex and faster response, making them incredibly versatile for a wide range of dynamics, from subtle rolls to powerful accents. While perfect for orchestral and symphonic work, their robust construction also allows for effective use in drum set applications.
