Vic Firth SSJTS Scott Johnson Tenor Sticks
Sean Vega
As a member of the Blue Devils, Sean also won the 1995 DCI Tenor Individual Championship. As Sean explains, "When I marched, I preferred to use sticks instead of mallets. I liked the feel of sticks better, and there was a quicker head response with a more articulate sound. However with standard sticks, often there was a projection problem. The new Tenor Stick goes a long way in solving that projection problem. The feel is great, and the weight and unique shape of the nylon bead pull more sound and tone from the drum."

"The feel of hickory versus metal is great," says Scott Johnson. "The quick response of the nylon bead allows you to play contemporary tenor music with much less effort. The size of the bead also allows the player to get a rim shot on a drum that has a fairly low rim to head relationship. They also feel great on a practice pad!"
