The Rute 606 are handy rods from Vic Firth, the largest company on the drumstick market. These rods have 19 birch dowels which makes the rods very versatile. The dowels are kept in place with a fixed position band. The handle is comfortable and well-balanced.
The Vic Firth HB Heritage Brushes are designed for drummers who seek maximum control and an authentic, traditional jazz feel. These brushes are ideal for players who work extensively with dynamics, nuance and subtle articulation. They feel immediately familiar in the hand and make it possible to create a rich palette of sounds and textures with minimal effort.
The Vic Firth HB Heritage Brushes are part of the Heritage series and are inspired by classic brush playing from the jazz tradition. The fine metal wires spread evenly across the drumhead and respond very sensitively to even the smallest hand movements. This allows swirls, soft accents and controlled backbeats to develop naturally and smoothly, without the playing becoming unsettled or unpredictable.
What sets these brushes apart within their category is the combination of playing comfort and musical balance. They offer enough resistance for control, while remaining flexible enough for extended use at lower volumes. This makes them particularly suitable for traditional jazz, ballads, acoustic music and theatre or studio settings where subtlety is essential. They also add a warm, refined percussive layer in lighter pop and singer-songwriter arrangements, without dominating the mix.
The Vic Firth HB Heritage Brushes are supplied as a pair as standard. For protection and organisation during transport, a good stick bag is a logical addition. A stick holder can also be useful in the rehearsal room or during live performances.

The Vic Firth WB Heritage Brushes are designed for drummers who want to combine the classic brush sound with a warm, natural feel. These brushes are aimed at players who place great emphasis on dynamics and musical nuance, and who seek a subtle yet clearly defined sound at lower volumes. They are perfectly suited to traditional jazz playing, but feel just as at home in acoustic and intimate musical settings.
The Vic Firth WB Heritage Brushes are part of the Heritage series and stand out thanks to their wooden handles combined with fine metal wires. The wooden grip provides a slightly fuller feel in the hand and offers added stability and control while playing. At the same time, the wires remain flexible and responsive, allowing swirls, gentle accents and light backbeats to sound smooth and controlled.
Within the range of brushes, these are particularly suitable for drummers who prefer a bit more grip compared to fully metal handles. The playing feel remains comfortable and well-balanced, even during extended sessions. The tone is warm and even, with sufficient definition on the snare drum without becoming harsh. This makes the WB Heritage Brushes highly suitable for jazz combos, ballads, theatre work and studio recordings where subtlety and control are essential.
The Vic Firth WB Heritage Brushes are supplied as a pair as standard. For neat storage and transport, a drumstick bag is a practical addition. A stick holder mounted on the drum kit can also provide better organisation and quick access during performances or rehearsals, especially when switching between sticks and brushes.
