Vic FirthCorpsmaster MS5 Snare Sticks
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Marching snare stick from Vic Firth's Corpsmaster line. For drum line players who need a stick built for a high-tension snare head.
Strong match
Who this is for
- High school or corps drum line playing on a tensioned marching snare
- Replacing a broken pair mid-season without changing feel
- Building a matched set of pairs for a whole line
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drum kit players, who will find a marching stick heavy and stiff
- Practice pad work if you want to feel light rebound
- Anyone playing tenors, who needs the multi-tenor model

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Are these for marching snare or drum set?
Marching snare. They are part of Vic Firth's Corpsmaster marching line and are built for a high-tension marching head.
02Can I use these on tenors?
No. Tenors take dedicated multi-tenor sticks or mallets. The Corpsmaster Ralph Hardimon multi-tenor model is the one to look at.
03How many sticks come in the package?
One pair.
04Will these work on a practice pad?
Yes, and drum line players commonly practice with the same sticks they play on the field so the feel stays consistent.
