Vic FirthTed Atkatz Concert Snare Sticks
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Concert snare sticks designed with Ted Atkatz, an orchestral percussionist. For symphonic and concert band snare work, not drum set playing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Concert band or orchestral snare parts
- Percussion students working on rudiments and rolls
- Players who need a defined articulation at low volume
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drum set players — wrong balance and taper for kit work
- Marching snare, which needs heavier sticks
- Anyone wanting one stick pair for everything
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Artist signature (Ted Atkatz)
Dimensions and balance were chosen by an orchestral player, so the feel targets symphonic technique.
Detail 03
Wood tip
Warmer, rounder attack than nylon. Wears down over time and can chip on rims.
Detail 04
Sold as a pair
One pair per purchase. Concert players often keep a backup pair for a broken stick mid-concert.
Detail 05
$30.99
Above general-purpose stick pricing, which is typical for signature concert models.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Sticks only. No bag, mallets, or practice pad included.
- 02Wood sticks vary slightly in weight — pitch-match a pair if it matters.
- 03Rimshots and heavy backbeats will shorten their life fast.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use these on a drum set?
You can, but they are built for concert snare. For kit playing, a general-purpose model will feel more balanced and last longer.
02Are these good for marching band?
No. Marching snare demands much heavier sticks. These are for concert and orchestral snare.
03What tip do these have?
Wood. That gives a warmer attack than nylon, at the cost of tip wear over time.
04Do I get one stick or two?
A pair — two sticks.
