The Vic Firth Modern Jazz Collection reflects the needs of drummers who play new music in jazz or jazz-related styles, not the same old charts you'd find in a Real Book. They focus on getting the best sounds out of drums and cymbals in fusion, bop, and more experimental genres of music.

MCJ1s dig in to your ride easily thanks to their 55A-ish diameter and extended length. Medium tapers have a nice balance between rimshot strength and weight, while oval tips contact a wide surface area for full sounds across the drum set.
