Conceived and engineered by Vic himself!
Vic Firth's American Custom SD1 General Drumsticks are the ideal all-purpose sticks for drummers of any skill level. These legendary 16 3/8" sticks feature a round tip and medium taper for articulate rolls, rimshots, and cymbal work.

Ideal for Any Genre
Whether you're playing orchestral, rock, jazz, or metal, the SD1 General sticks can handle it all. Their medium diameter of .635" provides enough power for loud playing styles without being too beefy. The round tip also helps produce clear articulation on drums and cymbals. These characteristics make the SD1s excellent for drummers who switch between musical genres .Perfect Practice Pair
The SD1 General sticks have become renowned as an ideal practice stick. Their medium weight and versatile design help build foundational skills that translate across all areas of drumming. The rebound and feel of the SD1s closely mimic that of Vic Firth's entire American Custom line, allowing drummers to focus on technique rather than adjusting to different sticks. Whether doing rudiments, working on timing, or building speed and endurance, the SD1 General sticks are perfectly balanced for productive practice.Premium Maple Construction
Like all of Vic Firth's American Custom sticks, the SD1 General model is crafted from premium rock maple selected for its density, grain orientation, and ability to produce rich tone.

The result is a lightweight yet durable stick that feels like an extension of your hands.A Legendary Pair of Sticks
