The American Classic T3 is ideal for precise rhythmic performances thanks to the "medium-hard" density of its head.
Real pros at the controls.
Vic Firth's name is now recognized worldwide because it is associated with one of the most successful and heterogeneous productions on the market. But before starting his business and leaving his indelible mark on all drummers and percussionists, Vic Firth was a solo tune-up in the Boston Symphonic, a place reserved for the best, the position corresponding neither more nor less than that of second leader of orchestra, tied with the 1st violin. Today Tim Genis holds this place in this same orchestra, and he has developed a series of 8 references, to which are added the 6 American Classic Vic Firth T3 is derived.
A fundamental tool.
It is certain that all the drummers do not use mallets, these accessories being initially intended for the game on timpani of orchestras, enormous drums in brass, equipped with a pedal and charged to produce the fundamental played by all the 'orchestra. This relationship to classical percussion, however, brings each drummer to the genesis of the instrument, and the use of mallets also gives an awareness of true lengths of notes that do not actually exist on a battery. With a Vic Firth T3, we can indeed get new sounds and very dynamic, a crescendo on a low tom or a crash ride, even emphasize a melody of progressive rock, or introduce a jazz ballad ...
A very versatile pair.
Each Vic Firth has a reference (Gen 1 to 8 for Tim Genis Signature and T1 to T6 for American Classic). The T1 General simply states the hyper-general character of this model, unlike a T4 Ultra Staccato (for a very rhythmic game) or a T2 Cartwheel (very soft, ideal for bearings). The Vic Firth T3 have a handle similar to that of a 5A, a little shorter, and the head of the mallet is composed only of felt, while others have a wooden heart. This is undoubtedly the best choice for drummers, with a long life assured while other economic models of the market fraying very fast.
