Marching Sticks – Hickory Marching Snare Sticks, Round Tip – MV11
The MV11 is scaled down from Vater's full-size marching sticks, making it a natural fit for younger players or as an indoor option where a slightly smaller stick feels more manageable in the hand. At 16 1/2 inches long and .635 inches in diameter, it keeps enough heft for marching snare work while staying easier to control than a full marching stick. The round tip gives fast, clean articulation on rudiments and technical passages.
This is a sensible pick for a student stepping up to marching snare, or for an indoor percussion player who wants a stick sized between a standard kit stick and a full outdoor marching stick. Solid hickory construction holds up to rim shots and the demands of a rehearsal season.
Key Features
Scaled-Down Marching Stick
Sized for younger players or indoor use, giving a more manageable feel than a full-size marching stick.
Round Tip for Fast Articulation
A round tip shape keeps rudiments and fast passages clean and well-defined.
16 1/2-Inch Length
A length that fits comfortably between standard kit sticks and full-size marching sticks.
.635-Inch Diameter
Substantial enough for marching snare work without feeling oversized in smaller hands.
Solid Hickory Construction
Hickory holds up to rim shots and repeated impact through a full rehearsal season.
Indoor or Junior Use
Works equally well as an indoor percussion stick or a step-up stick for younger marching players.
Care Tip: Check the tips regularly for splintering, especially after heavy rim shot practice — a compromised tip on a marching stick will chip further with every hit. Keep a spare pair in your stick bag since marching snare work is harder on sticks than standard kit playing.
