Vic Firth drumming glove, Small, cabretta leather with ventilated mesh and thumb grip

The Vic Firth Drumming Glove in Small protects hands and boosts grip while preserving stick feel, using premium cabretta leather, ventilated mesh, and targeted synthetic rubber reinforcement.

Designed for drummers who want hand protection without losing tactile control, this small-sized glove combines soft cabretta leather with breathable synthetic mesh on the palm and back. A synthetic rubber patch on the thumb and forefinger provides added traction exactly where you need it for gripping sticks, brushes, or mallets. The construction balances durability, ventilation, and touch sensitivity so you can practice, rehearse, or gig with greater comfort.

How does this glove help my grip without reducing stick sensitivity?

The glove preserves the feel of the stick by using thin, high-quality cabretta leather across the contact surface while concentrating a synthetic rubber texture only on the thumb and forefinger. That targeted approach increases traction on the primary grip points while leaving the rest of the hand responsive.

• Premium cabretta leather for natural touch and flexibility
• Synthetic rubber on thumb and forefinger for focused grip aid
• Minimal bulk construction to retain stick feedback

Will my hands stay cool during long practice sessions?

The palm and back panels use ventilated synthetic mesh to promote airflow and reduce sweat buildup. The breathable sections allow heat to escape and maintain comfort during longer playing periods.

• Ventilated mesh in palm and back for airflow
• Reduced moisture retention for better grip over time
• Lightweight materials to minimize hand fatigue

What riding or playing styles is the glove suited for?

With emphasis on grip and sensitivity, this glove fits many styles—from drumset and marching to practice sessions with brushes or rods. The small size offers a snug, controlled fit for players with smaller hands who need precision without bulk.

• Great for drumset players seeking consistent stick control
• Useful for marching percussion where secure grip matters
• Compatible with brushes, rods, and lighter mallets

How should I choose size and care for the glove?

Select the small size if you typically wear small gloves or have a slender hand profile; the glove is cut for a close fit to maximize feel. Care is straightforward: wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry; avoid machine washing to protect leather and grip surfaces.

• Choose small for smaller hand measurements and snug fit preference
• Wipe with damp cloth; air dry away from direct heat
• Avoid submersion or machine washing to preserve cabretta leather

Who is this for: The Vic Firth Drumming Glove in Small is aimed at drummers with smaller hands who want protective coverage and improved stick control without sacrificing tactile feedback. It’s particularly useful for gigging drummers, practice-focused players, marching percussionists, and anyone who needs extra traction on the thumb and forefinger while maintaining natural stick feel.
