Vic Firth Conquistador Timbale Sticks

Command the stage and cut through high-volume Latin ensembles with the Vic Firth Alex Acuña "Conquistador" Timbale Sticks (SAAZ). Designed in collaboration with legendary master percussionist Alex Acuña, the Conquistador is crafted for players who demand maximum power, reach, and durability during energetic live performances.

Made from select Red Hickory—a dense wood known for its exceptional shock resistance and weight—these untapered timbale sticks deliver punchy rimshots, strong accent response, and a bright, pronounced cáscara tone on steel and brass timbale shells.

Key Features:

• Alex Acuña Signature Model: Developed with world-renowned percussionist Alex Acuña to meet the rigorous demands of Salsa, Afro-Cuban, and Latin jazz performance.

• Select Red Hickory Construction: High-density hardwood provides extra weight, power, and long-lasting durability against aggressive shell playing and heavy rimshots.

• Extended Length & Diameter: Extra length provides enhanced leverage and reach, delivering deep volume and projection through dense horn sections.

• Untapered Cylinder Design: Uniform thickness throughout the stick ensures consistent balance, weight distribution, and rim attack regardless of grip position.

• Versatile Percussion Tool: Ideal for Salsa, Songo, Afro-Cuban jazz, drum set multi-percussion setups, and Latin percussion rigs.
