Although I recently purchased a few pairs of System Blue Snare drum sticks, I will forever be loyal to Vic Firth Corpsmaster sticks. I've been using these for years and I will never stop. The MS5's are very agile, light, and beefy at the same time. You are also very opened to gain a sustained and controlled sound out of these. These sticks, in my opinion, are the ideal marching sticks, alongside the Ralph Hardimons and the MS1's. Overall, the MS5's are a great set of sticks and I recommend them to everyone, including beginning marchers.

this stick is great, it's nice and light and is "beefy"

i love these sticks, i like that they can bring allot of sound, they feel like they got some beef, they arent too light but not too heavy. i would recommend this.
