Description

The Vater brand was officially established in November of 1991, but the Vater family history with drumsticks started decades earlier, in the basement of boston's legendary Jack's drum Shop. There, Alan and Ron's grandfather jack Adams, hand turned drumsticks for the drummers like Buddy rich as early as 1956. In the early to mid 1980's, the Vater Brothers began producing private- label drumsticks alongside sticks for Vic Firth and Zildjian. A few years of this LED to the brothers deciding to move their business to a new factory in Holbrook mA. Over the past decade, the Vater family and product line has expanded greatly, introducing innovative products such as the splash stick and acoustic, and welcoming renowned drummers like Chad Smith, Stewart Copeland, and Josh freeze. At Vater, our goal is simple. . . To produce the very best drumsticks and percussion accessories in the world.

  • My new go to stick
Been using the Promark Active Grip 5b for a while now, but find that it can get too sticky and on some sticks the grip application seemed to come off on my hands (real sticky when that happens). The Vaters are a perfect balance between grip and slip for me and I wanted to try a Nylon tip (as the Promark beads were chipping too soon). And the price is so much cheaper than most other name brand sticks! ... show more

  • Good Sticks at a Reasonable Price
I found these sticks are weighted well and hold up to a beating for quite a while. They aren't overly heavy and are thick enough to feel good and balanced in the hand. My only gripe is these things chip away into saw dust like noone's business. I get that they're wood and all sticks do this but good lord... ... show more

  • Best value for the money
I bought a four pack of these at Guitar Center maybe five or six years ago. It wasn't until now that I needed to replace them, and that wasn't because any of them actually broke (unlike more expensive brands I've used.) It was because they were still playable but very worn out after years of use. They feel great. They play great, and the price is very affordable. What more can you ask for in a stick? I've only played the 5BN model so I can't vouch for the quality of others, but these have served me EXTREMELY well. ... show more

  • All 5B sticks are NOT the same
I really like the balance & feel & playability of these sticks that “dance In my hands.” You can look up specs on sticks for length & diameter but what is very important is the taper from the shoulder to the neck. If that is thicker, the stick will feel weighted more to the tip & if that is thinner, the stick will feel weighted more to the middle or back end. Personal preference. I bought 1 pair for $6.95 from Amazon & now that I tried these compared to other 5B sticks I my collection, I wish to buy many more. However, the Amazon price jumped to $7.95. I will wait to see if Amazon drops the price back to $6.95 & if they do, buy at least 1 dozen more. ... show more
