Drumstick Pioneer Vic Firth Dead At 85
. Everett 'Vic' Firth was once described as "the consummate musician, educator and businessman." He said he'd been inspired to start making sticks when he found the ones he was using didn't meet his requirements. He reported: "It came out of necessity - not of imagination or my ability to start a company." The Vic Firth brand now manufacturers over 12 million sticks a year and boasts endorsees including Iron Maiden's Nicko McBrain, The Rolling Stones' Charlie Watts, Tool's Danny Carey, Rammstein's Christoph Schneider, Bullet For My Valentine's Michael 'Moose' Thomas and many others.
