The Vic Firth SCS1 is a other drumstick for concert and orchestral percussion, listed by Vic Firth as the Symphonic Collection -- Persimmon Snare Drumsticks. It is .646″ (16.4 mm) in diameter and 17.008″ (432 mm) long. It has a wood ball tip and a medium taper.
The drumstick silhouette is drawn to scale — length and diameter exactly as published — and the dotted lines mark every 100 mm from the butt end on the left. The outline follows the maker's taper class and tip shape.
Figures as published by the maker. Sticks specified in inches are held in millimetres here, so the inch column is converted back from mm to three decimals; “—” means the maker publishes no value.
