For a half-century, Vic Firth personified precision and professionalism as the timpanist for the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

It was his drive for perfection that lead him to begin manufacturing his own drumsticks 40 years ago—and today, Vic Firth drumsticks are widely recognized as the best drumsticks in the world.

Now, Vic has brought his commitment to quality and woodturning expertise to the professional gourmet tools market with Vic Firth Gourmet peppermills, salt mills and rolling pins.

Available in a variety of styles, sizes and finishes, Vic Firth kitchen tools complement any kitchen décor or table setting. Just as important, Vic Firth mills, shakers and rolling pins are thoughtfully designed, meticulously crafted tools built to deliver a lifetime of service to both professional and home chefs.
