Vic Firth Corpsmaster Signature Snare -- Ralph Hardimon

These sticks are amazing for marching drummers . They have good quality and a good feel to them .

Absolutely lovely! Using these for Marching Band and they hold up very well, tape goes on easily and all in all will be purchasing again!

Love these drumsticks . Grip is just how I like it . Perfect thickness for marching . Not that expensive for what it is. Works good for my use case of marching band .

Great feel, great heft, great grip, great for beginners and great for professionals.

The sticks are great and thicker

These have been amazing to use, there has been some residual paint left on my fingers after a raining day of playing but it’s more of a dusting and not a bother. These have been holding up and sound amazing.

There light weight and good for beginners, but all around good sticks

Thick and heavy drumsticks. Have to get used to weight. Great for high tension drums.

Super équilibre pour le travail au pad.

Ótima baqueta, valeu a pena cada centavo. Vic Firth é Vic Firth, não tem erro.

Bellissime e ben bilanciate.La serie Corpsmaster é una garanzia.

Très mauvaise qualité de bois. Une sortie et la baguette a cassé en deux morceaux.

After years of relying on my old, well-loved sticks that are sadly no longer available, it finally became necessary to look for a new pair. I still have my practice sticks with colour-coded tape for teaching, but I needed something fresh, reliable, and suitable for parade use. Since the group I teach now marches with white sticks, keeping that consistent look was important, even though most of the players are youth and use smaller heads. I have used many Vic Firth sticks over the years, although not often for marching. Trying the Ralph Hardimon Corpsmaster Signature sticks was a bit of a gamble, but it paid off right away. The weight and balance feel excellent. They are substantial enough to deliver solid accents when needed while still being comfortable during longer sessions. I have played them on both my Super Royal Scot and my modern RS1 and they have worked beautifully on each. The wood tip gives a crisp response, and the overall feel makes it easy to shape dynamics with confidence. Whether I am playing on parade or working through technical material, these sticks give me exactly the control I want. I have enjoyed using them so much that I am now considering picking up a pair of Ralph Hardimon Indoor sticks for teaching. If you are looking for a reliable white marching stick with great feel and versatility, this pair is a strong choice.
