The Vic Firth 8D Modern Jazz Collection drumstick features an 8D shaft with added length for an up-front, powerful feel. Well-balanced with a medium taper, a proportionate neck, and an oval tip, these sticks are perfect for delivering a smooth, controlled performance.

After years of experimentation and collaboration with some of the world’s top artists, Vic Firth has decided to release five of their favorite prototype models to the public. These sticks have been a backstage staple for years, and while the name “Modern Jazz” suggests one genre, these sticks excel in virtually any musical setting.

Developed in collaboration with cutting-edge drummers like Jeff Ballard, Greg Hutchinson, Joe McCarthy, and Lewis Nash, the Modern Jazz Collection brings you the same exceptional sticks used by top professionals for years. Now, for the first time ever, you can experience the innovation and craftsmanship that have made these prototypes a hidden gem in the drumming community.
