Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Until I came upon the Vic Firth Bolero I used all kinds of light jazz sticks made of hickory and on the thin side. The last of these was the Firth 8D, but I haven't touched a stick of that kind since giving the Bolero a try. Here's the deal: you get something fat in the hand, therefore easy to grasp, but with the weight of a light jazz stick, and a small round tip that yields a precise, delicate cymbal ping---to my ear, the most beautiful cymbal sound available. Additional virtues: the substantial amount of maple in the stick does not convey the usual shock of impact to the hand, and the tips last a lot longer than those on any other stick I've used. The Bolero improved my playing and increased my comfort on the instrument. Not a stick for hard-rockers, but anyone else should give it a try. It may suit your needs as well as it suits mine. I wouldn't want to play anything else. (Though I wish Firth would reissue its Super Bolero, which was a bit longer.) To sum up: big stick, light weight, control, comfort, gorgeous sound.
