PureGrit processing
Adds an abrasive texture to the lacquer-free stick surface for more grip-oriented handling.

Independent shopping perspective
Vic Firth American Classic PureGrit 7A sticks pair hickory construction with a lacquer-free, naturally finished surface treated for extra texture. The PureGrit processing is aimed at drummers whose hands get sweaty, including work in humid clubs, helping maintain a more secure hold through a set. It is a practical alternative for players looking to move away from added grip tapes, waxes, gloves, or other stick-grip products.
