Increase Drumstick Grip With Extra-Tacky Wax If your hands get too dry or too sweaty, you may need a tool to keep drumsticks firm in your grip. Apply the super tacky VicWax to achieve a secure grip. It applies directly to the stick to create as much, or as little, extra gripping strength as needed. It's easy to use and comes in a compact container with enough wax for a dozen or more drumsticks. It's berry-scented too, just for fun. The Nitty Gritty Details Thick, tacky wax prevents stick slippage Easy to apply Compact container for drumstick bag storage Nice berry scent Non-toxic material Sold as a single container About Vic Firth Since 1963, Vic Firth has made high-quality drumsticks on America's east coast. The company's humble origins start with Boston Symphony Orchestra percussionist Vic Firth making sticks for his own personal use, but eventually, colleagues and students asked Vic to make sticks for them, too. Firth started the company to produce better sticks than commercially available, and the company continues to be known for manufacturing excellence today. Vic Firth has grown to become the world's largest manufacturer of drumsticks and mallets and merged with the world's largest cymbal manufacturer, Avedis Zildjian Company, in 2010.
