ROGERS #MyPerfectPair: Corpsmaster Signature Roger Carter

Roger Carter is well known in the marching percussion activity for his dedication to excellence as well as his unique sty-
listic approach to rudimental drumming. Throughout his career, Roger has performed with and instructed for some of the
foremost marching percussion programs in the world, including the Blue Devils, Crossmen, Madison Scouts, Broken City
Indoor Percussion and the Bluecoats.

I really wanted to make a marching stick that had the feel of a drumset stick, states Roger. My approach to rudimental
drumming incorporates groove and stylistic flow into a genre that has been historically defined by its rigidity. This stick is
an extension of that.
Rogers Corpsmaster signature stick features a long, sloping taper, which pushes mass to the back of the stick for re-
markable response and flow. The taper flanges back out slightly at the neck for added durability and focused power at the
tip. Working in concert with this unique taper, a round tip provides excellent articulation at every dynamic level.

The balance and speed of the new Roger Carter Corpsmaster signature stick also makes it a fantastic choice for march-
ing tenors. The long taper makes it easier to get around the drums and creates a great rim shot sound.

I could use anything I want and Ive been with Vic for more than 20 years. I think that speaks for itself, states Roger.
Many of my favorite drummers of all time use Vic Firth, and I am honored to be included among such an elite group as a
Vic Firth Signature Artist.
