Vic Firth VF-STH3 Corpsmaster® Signature Snare – Thom Hannum Piccolo Tip
High-Definition Articulation with Corps-Level Power
Developed with acclaimed marching percussionist and designer Thom Hannum, the Vic Firth VF-STH3 Corpsmaster® Signature Snare Piccolo Tip stick is designed to deliver enhanced clarity and precision while retaining the authoritative weight expected from the Hannum series.
This model refines the standard STH concept with a smaller, more focused tip for increased definition on high-tension snare heads.
Crafted from premium hickory, the VF-STH3 maintains a substantial, front-weighted feel that supports strong projection in outdoor and competitive environments.
The piccolo-style wood tip produces sharper articulation and cleaner note separation, making it ideal for dense, intricate snare writing where clarity is paramount. A controlled taper balances the added mass with reliable rebound and consistency.
Designed for Detail-Driven Corps Performance
Perfect for modern drum corps and precision-focused ensembles, the VF-STH3 allows snare lines to cut clearly through the ensemble without sacrificing power or presence.
