Julia Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) I have to start out by clarifying that these were bought as a Halloween costume accessory. My hands are small, but not small enough to necessitate 13” sticks 😂 But what the heck, they're sticks, so I had to post them here. Vic Firth's Kidsticks are .520” in diameter, with a long taper and teardrop tip — they're basically a shorter 7a. They're made for kids around ages 3 - 8. They come in ballet pink or bright blue (see Gigibunny below rocking out with the blue ones on my floor tom). On the kit, I was a bit challenged trying to find and work with the fulcrum. I decided heck with it, and held them at the very ends like some people hold sticks when they want to play really hard. They kind of worked that way. I vastly prefer adult-sized sticks (albeit on the smaller side), but hey, these looked great sticking out of my hair on Halloween, and I even managed not to poke anyone's eye out. If you have a tiny drum player who doesn't feel ready for grownup sticks, these are the quality you would expect from VF, with good balance, and the paint is helpful for grip. I wish they had a better choice of colors, though — the pink and blue are kind of stereotypical. Imagine glittery purple ones! Future SDS video suggestion: A challenge! I would like to see @Stephen playing with these. Edited November 27, 2019 by Julia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
