The Ralph Hardimon Corpsmaster signature sticks measure 17 inches and are turned from select American hickory with a barrel tip and a taper tuned for marching snare power. They have been a go-to pattern in the drum corps world for their blend of reach, weight, and control.
They earn their keep on the practice pad and the competition field, delivering a defined attack and consistent rebound through fast, demanding passages.
Vic Firth has manufactured marching sticks and mallets in Newport, Maine since 1963, pitch-pairing and weight-matching each pair.
