![]() CHARLIE BENANTE Known as one of the pioneers of contemporary double-bass technique, Charlie Benante has been an influence on countless drummers throughout the world! Idolized as the drummer for the band Anthrax since 1983, he has had a big part in popularizing the blast beat technique with thrash metal. "I've played Vic's sticks for 3 decades now and to me, it's the only real choice!" states Benante. "Vic has so many great models, but I would always end up using two separate choices for our shows. I really wanted to develop a stick that could provide me with what I liked about both and put it into one. With this new stick, I now have that!" Check out our video interview with Charlie to find out his thoughts behind the design of his new signature drumstick!
