The Vic Firth MS2 Marching Snare Sticks are 1/2" longer than the MS1 sticks while featuring the same full oval tip and short taper to bring out the dark sounds on drums and cymbals. CORPSMASTER SNARE STICKS Field tested and field proven, the superior designs of the Corpsmaster line developed throughout years of collaboration with the world's finest drum and bugle corps. Each season since the products were introduced, Corpsmaster sticks and mallets have remained the most popular choice among the top high school bands, indoor percussion ensembles and DCI Championship corps. The Corpsmaster Signature marching snare sticks feature designs which reflect the musical requirements of each artist in terms of balance, feel and sound projection. All models are turned in hickory for strength and power with the exception of the MS4 which is crafted in Sta-Pac for maximum weight.
I'm a huge fan of all three: Pro-Mark, Innovative, and Vic-Firth. But I always pull out the MS2's just because they feel so good on the hands. Trust me on this.
