Vic Firth's Logo is stamped on accepted sticks. 8 - Weight Sorting After checking once more for straightness sticks are loaded weighed on a computer scale and organized by weight. 9 - Tone Pairing A computer analyzes the exact peak frequency of the stick and places the stick into a bin with others that match. 10 - Color Matching and Packaging Sticks are paired by hand then the label and bar code are added (12 Pairs are combined to make a Vic Firth Brick) Vic Firth For almost 40 years, Vic Firth Inc. has produced the finest drumsticks and mallets available.
