Vic Firth VF-AJ4 American Jazz® 4
One of the lightest, fastest-responding sticks in the American Jazz® series.
Built on an ultra-thin shaft with a long taper and small teardrop wood tip, the Vic Firth AJ4 delivers effortless rebound, feather-light touch, and beautifully articulate cymbal definition. Designed specifically for players who want maximum finesse, these sticks excel in jazz, acoustic, small-ensemble, and lower-volume settings, where sensitivity and control are essential.
Despite their slim profile, the AJ4 still projects musical tones with clarity – especially on ride and hi-hat – thanks to the focused tip and responsive taper. Hickory construction ensures durability while maintaining a soft, flexible feel.
