Drummer's Review Xtra: Reviewed: Vic Firth Rutes & Artist Sticks

drummersreview.com

Vic Firth’s new Rute-X and artist series drumsticks offer a versatile range for different drumming styles. The Rute-X sticks provide customizable attack and feel, with unique features such as moveable bands and the ability to achieve rim clicks and crashes. However, they can feel unbalanced on cymbals. The artist series, including the NE.1 and Nate Smith sticks, are well-designed for specific needs, offering great rebound and articulation. While the NE.1 excels in various settings, Nate Smith’s stick is ideal for lighter, acoustic play. Overall, Vic Firth continues to innovate, delivering quality and adaptability for modern drummers.

Vic Firth TITAN 5B Drumsticks | Drum Gear Review

drumgearreview.com

Vic Firth's TITAN 5B drumsticks impress with their unmatched durability and balanced feel. Crafted from aerospace-grade carbon fiber, they withstand rigorous play, making them a cost-effective choice for hard-hitting drummers. The sticks are heavier, offering a controlled throw and a unique tactile experience, though they may induce hand fatigue initially. While they pull a brighter sound from cymbals, the tonal shift might not suit everyone, especially those preferring darker, woodier tones. The limited size availability is a downside, but the TITANs shine as robust practice sticks that could save frequent buyers of wood sticks a fair amount of money.
