Vic Firth TG15 Symphonic Collection Tom Gauger Drumsticks - 3 Pack

CONCERT-PROVEN DESIGN DEVELOPED OVER 35+ YEARS: Tom Gauger shaped this design over 35+ years with the Boston Symphony Orchestra for demanding concert performance and the classroom

SMALL ROUND TIP BRINGS OUT EVERY RUFF GRACE NOTE AND ACCENT: Round tip focuses the contact point for clear, defined articulation from soft grace notes and intricate ruffs to powerful accents

MAPLE DELIVERS A LIGHT RESPONSIVE TOUCH ACROSS ALL DYNAMICS: Maple's lighter, more flexible feel compared to hickory gives the stick a lively response and keeps soft playing controlled and precise

BOTH STICKS FEEL AND RESPOND IDENTICALLY: Computer-matched pairs ensure consistent weight and density so both sticks feel identical and you never compensate mid-performance

READY-TO-PLAY BUNDLE: This bundle includes 3-pairs of drumsticks for practice and an Austin Bazaar polishing cloth to keep your sticks, shells, and hardware clean and protected after every session

The Vic Firth Symphonic Collection TG15 is designed by Tom Gauger, percussionist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Boston Pops for more than 35 years and educator at Boston University and the Tanglewood Institute, bringing professional orchestra experience to a general-purpose concert snare stick built for clarity, balance, and control. Made from maple rather than hickory, the TG15 delivers a lighter, more flexible response that makes soft playing and delicate passages more controlled and effortless. The small round tip focuses the contact point for clear, defined articulation across all dynamic levels - from soft grace notes and intricate ruffs to powerful accents and full ensemble passages. The medium taper provides a balanced feel between butt and tip, making the TG15 an all-purpose concert snare stick that handles the full range of orchestral and ensemble playing.

Designed on the job and for the job - each detail developed to solve real technical challenges encountered in professional orchestra and university percussion settings. Each pair is computer-matched for consistent weight and density so both sticks feel and respond identically from the first stroke.
