Marching Snare Sticks
I mostly recommend Vic Firth because my former teachers have signature sticks with them. They're made in Massachusetts by some great people.
Thom Hannum's Signature Corpsmaster
Best Feeling Marching Snare Stick
This marching snare stick is a bit shorter than most others, and the weight is a bit more forward, increasing its quickness. The taper is long and the bead is a short barrel shape that gives the stick a lot of rebound and smoothness. Playing rolls with this bead feels much smoother than more traditional beads. Used by Carolina Crown in the 2010s.
Colin McNutt's Signature Corpsmaster
A Great Versitle Marching Snare Stick
This marching snare stick is also great. Used by the Cadets from 2009-2017, and the Boston Crusaders from 2017-Present.
