Vic Firth VF-SGH Signature Series – Gerald Heyward
Deep Pocket Feel with Confident Weight
The Vic Firth SGH Gerald Heyward Signature stick is built for drummers who value feel, groove and authority.
Designed in collaboration with legendary session drummer Gerald Heyward, this model combines generous length with a short taper to deliver a powerful, front-loaded response that sits beautifully in the pocket.
Focused Sound, Natural Groove
Featuring a rounded barrel wood tip, the SGH produces a smooth, focused cymbal tone with excellent definition, particularly on the ride.
The slightly enlarged shaft provides substance in the hand, while the short taper keeps strokes solid and controlled – perfect for laying down consistent, expressive grooves.
A Session-Ready Choice
From R&B, soul and funk to pop and studio work, the Gerald Heyward Signature stick excels in musical settings where feel and consistency matter more than raw speed.
