Increased articulation quality allows for lower pitched tuning schemes. Made of hickory, the design of this stick focuses-first and foremost-on the feel. The balance of the shaft diameter and length, coupled with a fast taper that levels off before the tip, creates comfort and sound quality for the performer. The tip diameter and shape increases the articulation quality, which allows for a lower pitched tuning scheme and an improved drum sound. John Mapes is a marching percussion designer and educator who has achieved an unprecedented 29 WGI medals since 2005. In addition to his successes in competitive indoor percussion – which include leading Chino Hills High School and Pulse Percussion to 5 World Championships – John is incredibly active in Drum Corps International. In 2013, John joined the design team of the Blue Stars Drum \u0026amp; Bugle Corps as battery arranger. Previously, he worked with Blue Devils B and Esperanza Drum and Bugle Corps. As a long-time Vic Firth artist, I have played and taught with all of the sticks and mallets available,” says Mapes. “While teaching, there were certain sticks that produced the sound I most desired. However, that did not always mean that they had the feel that our performers preferred. Combining the desired sound and the feel became the focus of a product I knew could be a great addition to the Vic Firth catalog.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesigned with John Mapes for marching and drum corps applications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Length and diameter combined with a medium taper provide a balanced feel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDon't let this deal pass you by ! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vic Firth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60559336439889,"sku":"qfp1789236458109","price":11.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/4025\/0705\/files\/vic-firth-smap-corpsmaster-signature-john-mapes-marching-snare-sticks-in-stock_1.jpg?v=1789236461","url":"https:\/\/www.floralbay.shop\/products\/vic-firth-smap-corpsmaster-signature-john-mapes-marching-snare-sticks-in-stock","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
