Glad this was posted, as I hadn't yet heard. RIP Vic Firth. I've got quite a few pair of his sticks and will remember Vic fondly when I use them.

That name has been a part of my life for so long, it's like losing a family member. R.I.P. Vic. Thanks for all the really great 'drum stuff.'

John

Too many great drums to list here!
