"The sticks are in the same ball park as the Vic Firth 'Rock' model - which I've been using for the past few years. They are big sticks - and I'm sure they're not for everyone - but I learnt a long time ago that if you need to play loud - it's better to make the stick do the work for you. I can play loud with smaller sticks but they hurt my hands. Although large, my new signature sticks are extremely balanced and versatile enough to be played at all dynamics."
Vic Firth concludes:
"Gavin’s new signature stick brings something unique and musical to the market. He has been an important part of this family for many years and I am honored to have a musician of his caliber in our lineup of signature artists!"

George Kollias, drummer for the extreme metal band Nile, is renowned for his outrageous technical prowess! With feet that move faster than most people's hands, George has brought a new level of possibilities to drum set playing.
The new George Kollias signature stick blends the shaft, taper and neck of the immensely popular 5A & 5B models. Finished off with a classic barrel-shaped tip, this stick delivers a clear cymbal sound and full drum tone.
Comments George: on his new sticks:
"While the shaft size of my stick makes for a versatile choice, it is the barrel-shaped tip we used that makes this stick so special. It provides an aggressive feel and allows me to play at speeds like no other stick I have played. I have gained more control when playing ghost notes and I can play to my maximum speed for longer periods. Last but not least…it feels great!"
