The Vic Firth EP2 Intermediate Education Pack provides the correct tools to help students produce quality percussion sounds. The student's stick bag comes loaded with an SD2 stick (round tip ideal for light jazz, studio, orchestral, and pit work), an M3 mallet (medium mushroom head for all-around playing), an M6 mallet (hard phenolic 1" ball for bells and xylophone), and a T3 timpani mallet (medium hard).
