Vic Firth Corpsmaster Ralph Hardimon Drumsticks

These sticks are great for marching. They have a nice,full sound. the best for drumline

I've been using these sticks for our high school marching snare line for at least 10 years now. I occasionally try something different, and keep coming back to these. They've got great sound on the drum, on the rims, and on each other! I've found them to be quite durable, and the white finish makes for great stick flashes!

They're good and will last you about three years.

These sticks are the most all-around marching sticks in the market. The round is ubelievable rapid, and (for wood tip sticks at least) make an articulate and consistent sound on the drum. Their white coating also makes visual effects much more effective. My only advice is to tape the top half of the shaft, because the white lacquer tends to fade after a while, and rim nicks ruin the white look of the stick.
