The American Custom line consists of a variety of models conceived and engineered by Vic Firth. Perfect for the artist who is playing lighter types of music or prefers a beefier stick without a lot of weight. The Swinger has an oval tip and is a dance band stick. It is lighter than the American Custom Driver.

I love these sticks

I picked these sticks up just for a change from the usual, and I found my stick of choice. They got lots of meat to them, but the tip is articulate. I would describe these as the shaft of a 2b and the taper and tip of a 5a, fat loud and articulate tone. Handled hours of hard rims shots at an out side un miked gig last night and sounded great. Try these sticks you might fall in love them..

I've played the SD4's with my jazz trio for many years. About 2 years ago I started using the SD10's (Swingers) when I played with my 19 member jazz ensemble. They are wider than the SD4 but nice & light with the very nice stick balance. So, I now use the SD10's for most all music styles (including classical snare drum). But I still love nice light jazz cymbal sound the SD4's produce.

I had these sticks a few monthes ago and have been playing many others since i broke one of them after many monthes of abuse. I haven't yet been able to find another set of sticks that are quite like them. The sticks aren't too wide but just enough to give me a good grip on them. for the size, they're unbelievably lightweight. These are excelent sticks and every player should give them a try.
