The Vic Firth SNR is a hickory drumstick for concert and orchestral percussion, listed by Vic Firth as the Symphonic Collection -- Ney Rosauro Drumsticks. It is .598″ (15.2 mm) in diameter and 16.496″ (419 mm) long. It has a wood other tip and a long taper. It is the signature model of drummer Ney Rosauro.
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.
