Vic FIrth - Heritage Brushe - Retractable - Steel Wire - Purple Handle

These are the best brushes I’ve ever owned. They hold their shape and you have the choice of about three different positions that the wires can be extended.

Brilliant piece of kit ,.

Ok so I have to say these are a really nice set of brushes whether you be a regular gigging musician or a newbie... These brushes are made to last FOREVER, with a comfortable purple rubber coating that helps with grip and a nice weight / length. You will find two notches in the metal retractor / extender end which allows the brushes to be used in a more fanned position or a closer and dense position BUT I have to say that on my set the retractor / extender was stiff enough to allow me a greater variety of positions than just these two options and never slipped whilst playing. The sound of these brushes are exactly what you would expect from a decent pair of brushes and I have to say that if I had a choice of only thanking out one pair of brushes it would either be these or the Steve Gadd vic firths depending on the gig. If you are after a second pair of brushes that are completely different from these I would try a pair the live wires BUT please note they are like MARMITE! You either love them or hate them as they are a world apart from traditional brushes given you other sounds / volumes that would not normally be possible.

These are good quality but very, very lightweight. Probably best used for very quiet music. If like me, you like the sound of brushes but you still like a bit of a bang then go for something a bit heavier.

Repeat purchase as a (requested) gift for my son, a professional drummer. He loves the weight, balance, feel and playability. As a jazz drummer, these need to function well, delivering light and shade, which they do nicely… hence his request for another pair to replace his originals which have lasted well and remain in his kit bag as a back-up.

I hate paying for brushes as I deo not use them much, but our latest set has at least 3 brush tracks in it. I am used to cheap ones that fall to bits after several uses..... I read the reviews and thought, I am gonna go for it and bought the Vic Firth ones. I didn't buy for the name at all. I wanted value for money and believe me I do not regret it one bit. These brushes certainly seem to be the deal and I am happy!

These are the second pair I have purchased as feel they are so well made! Great wire spread,lightweight and responsive on a drum head.Highly recommended.

I was very pleased with the prompt delivery of my Vic Firth Retractable Wire Heritage Brushes.They make a very pleasing sound on my snare drum.They pack away neatly into the handle of the brush and are a good weight.
