Detail 01
17-inch length and .520-inch diameter
These dimensions place it among Vic Firth’s longest and thinnest stick offerings.

Independent shopping perspective
The Ahmir Questlove Thompson signature stick takes a notably long, slim route: 17 inches in length with a .520-inch diameter, a long taper, and an acorn wood tip. Its natural-finished hickory build is described as lightweight, so it is a distinct choice for players drawn to an extended, thinner stick rather than a more compact profile. The result is a signature model with unusually specific proportions and handling.
