The man who provides the subtle groove behind arguably the worlds most influential rock band, British drummer Charlie Watts has used the Vic Firth SCW stick for many years while recording and touring with the Rolling Stones. Charlies stick has an elongated oval tip for dark cymbal sounds. A big sound without a lot of weight. Each Vic Firth Signature Series model was conceived through extensive research with the finest drummers from a variety of musical styles. The designs reflect their musical requirements in terms of balance, feel, sound projection and cymbal color. All colored sticks feature a clear, natural tip. All sticks are hickory unless otherwise noted.
