Vic Firth VF-SBG Benny Greb Signature Stick

The Vic Firth Benny Greb Signature Stick (VF-SBG) is far more than a set of drumsticks — it’s a direct reflection of Benny Greb’s musical mindset. Known worldwide for his deep pocket, refined touch and obsessive attention to detail, Benny designed this stick to support musical drumming, not just hitting things harder.

Everything about the SBG encourages control, balance and intention. The slightly longer length and slim diameter give the stick a fast, elegant feel, while the long taper promotes rebound and flow — perfect for Benny’s trademark ghost notes, flowing ride patterns and ultra-controlled dynamics. It’s a stick that feels alive in the hand and rewards relaxed technique.

The unique tip shape is central to the design philosophy. Benny wanted a cymbal sound that speaks clearly without dominating the music, and the result is a beautifully defined ride articulation with a smooth, contained wash. Crashes stay musical rather than explosive, and hi-hat work remains crisp and articulate — ideal for groove-based playing where every note matters.

On the drums, the response is precise and honest. The SBG translates subtle strokes effortlessly, making it a dream for intricate ghost-note work, layered backbeats and micro-dynamic control — all hallmarks of Benny’s playing and teaching. It’s equally comfortable in jazz, funk, fusion, pop and studio environments, where feel and consistency are everything.

Crafted from premium hickory, the stick balances durability with a comfortable, low-fatigue feel, allowing you to play longer while staying relaxed. This is very much in line with Benny’s philosophy of efficiency, sound awareness and musical responsibility behind the kit.

If you’re drawn to Benny Greb’s approach — where groove is king, time is sacred and every note has purpose — the VF-SBG isn’t just a signature stick, it’s a tool designed to help you think, feel and play more musically.
