A first-call studio musician, Harvey Mason has played on more gold and platinum jazz crossover records than any other drummer. His early career is defined by his late 1960s performances with jazz legends Duke Ellington and Erroll Garner, as well as his recordings in the early years of the Blue Note jazz crossover explosion, and his composition work with Herbie Hancock and The Headhunters. Vic Firth's Harvey Mason (SHM3) "The Chameleon" signature stick is designed to navigate a variety of musical styles. Its subtle barrel tip makes for articulate cymbal response and full drum sounds.
