Steve Smith's New Tala Wands

Seeing Steve Smith in concert or clinic is always an education. A multi-faceted virtuoso of many styles, Steve is equally adept in rock, jazz and fusion. No matter what he's playing, it's always a treat because you know he as made it his mission to understand and get inside every style of music he performs.

The Steve Smith Tala Wands were conceived when Steve began playing with drummers from India and needed a way to blend with their sounds and be sensitive to lower volume levels. The result: two unique and tremendous additions to the Vic Firth line of Rute and brushes. Tala Wands feel great and naturally help to play softer – in all settings!


TW11:

Bamboo - A foam center is surrounded with bamboo dowels wrapped in thin PVC. Great balance and rebound, while naturally producing a lower volume.

L = 15 15/16”, Dia. = .585


TW12:

Birch - A foam center is surrounded with birch dowels wrapped in thin PVC. Outstanding rebound and sound. While the shaft is thicker than the TW11, the lighter weight of the birch dowels actually helps create a lighter touch and lower volume.

L = 16 1/8”, Dia. =.625”
