Explore a Whole New Side of Your Drums

The Vic Firth Steve Smith Tala Wands with bamboo rods let you get a whole new range of tone and expression from the drums you already have. They deliver a stick-like rebound, but with the reduced volume and light sound you'd expect from percussion dowels. The key to Tala Wands is the foam core, which allows them to bounce back without adding mass to the stick. Drummers have found that by adjusting the control bands, you can get a wide range of feel, sound, and dynamic expression from these bamboo Tala Wands. If you're looking for a great alternative to traditional brushes, this is it!
