VATER Hickory - 1A - Wood Tip
Regular price £11.99
A lengthy stick with a 5B style grip and acorn tip.
"I'm a big fan of the 1A's because of their length in particular. I naturally choke up a bit on sticks, so the extra length is perfect. Because they aren't too thick, you can easily play to both dynamic extremes." - Ilan Rubin [Nine Inch Nails]
"I’m a big fan of the 1A, whether lacquered or not. I like to play with a spread-out setup, and the extra reach of the 1A allowed me to keep from overextending my arms. It also delivered a stronger and more powerful sound from drums and cymbals than what I get from a typical 5A, while retaining a nimble response." - Modern Drummer Magazine
"I tried a lot of sticks over the years. Then I found Vater 1A’s and never looked back! They can take a serious beating and give an even bigger beating! The incredible weight balance provides great control and insane power. They feel like an extension of my arm! I like keeping my drums and cymbals low, flat, and far away. The extra length on these sticks allows me to do that comfortably. The acorn tip provides great attack, rebound, and tone. Simply put, Vater has created perfection!” - Jordan Cannata [Adrenaline Mob]
"I have been playing the Vater 1A wood tip for over 10 years now and there is absolutely no other stick on the market that does it for me! The 1A's are as durable as they come and the length of the stick had me at hello. If you are searching for the best rock stick on the market, look no further. Vater 1A's are the real deal!" - Tosha Jones

VATER Hickory - Keg 5B - Wood Tip
Regular price £11.99
Same dimensions as our standard 5B but with a keg / barrel shaped tip for a defined cymbal articulation.
“The shortened strike faces of the keg tips gave cymbal hits significantly more definition than the acorn tips I compared them to, and they also seemed to open up my toms, allowing extra low-end presence. I found both the 5A and 5B Kegs to be most at home in medium volume situations where lower dynamics could benefit from the boosted mids and lows.” – DRUM! Magazine
"The Keg 5B is the stick I've been looking for for a long time. I've always loved the tone I get from the Fusions, but I love the power and the feel I get from the 5Bs. The Keg 5B to me combines these 2 very important attributes into 1 stick. Now I can get that beautiful cymbal definition but not be afraid to dig in to my shells." - Mike Aveneim
"For amphitheater or arena volumes with Miranda Lambert, the KEG 5B has the handle and velocity sought in a heavier stroke - all with un-compromised cymbal definition." - G. Maxwell Zemanovic [Miranda Lambert]

“I love my Vater Keg 5A’s! The size and more importantly, the greatly balanced weight is a perfect match for not only myself but others who play this variation as well.” - ROOK [Machine Gun Kelly]
“Vater offer’s the quality and durability, to project a better sound on any drumset or cymbal. I wouldn't use anything other than Vater. They're the only drumsticks that gets me through my gigs!" -Didi Negron [Cirque du Soleil Amaluna]

"Vater nailed it when they designed the "Fusion Acorn" model. It has all the technical aspects you need when playing drums - length, strength, balance, durability and playability. But most importantly, it feels good in your hands which makes your drumming more inspiring and creative. Don't walk... RUN to your nearest drum shop and get a pair of these!!!" - Curt Bisquera
"I've been with Vater for over twenty years now. They stand by me...and I stand by them. It's all about Family for the both of us.My world of sound is realized and enhanced by the beautiful sticks and mallets this family produces. Every stick or mallet that I've ever received from Vater has been perfectly straight, balanced, crafted and constructed. I have used every little invention they have come up with and have never sent back a single piece of it. If you demand the best...you deserve Vater." -Butch Norton [Lucinda Williams]

"The acorn tip produced big, broad tones, and the hefty shoulder held up well after multiple hours of heavy rimshots. These are big, beefy sticks that were a perfect match for throwing down bombastic beats on an oversized setup." - Modern Drummer Magazine
"I've been using the Vater 5B For the past 15+ years, and couldn't imagine myself playing anything else until now. The Power 5B Acorn have a bit extra length and the weight is distributed perfectly. I've found my new favorite stick" - Gunnar Olsen [Puscifer}

Combine that with an acorn tip and you've got what I feel is the perfect combination of size, balance, and articulation. Now that the Vater 5A Acorn is out, you won't find me playing anything else!" -Christian Paschal [Maren Morris]
"The 5A Acorn has the same weight and dimensions as the company’s popular Los Angeles 5A (.570"x16"), but the smaller, shorter tip offers a slightly fuller and more articulate tone. This is a definite go-to for a variety of gigs that require clean cymbal sounds, dynamic control, and quick response." - Modern Drummer Magazine

VATER Hickory - Classics 2B - Nylon Tip
Regular price £12.99
A hefty but quick feeling 2B. Features a medium sized and oval nylon tip that delivers cymbal clarity and enough punch to cut through in louder music situations.
Also Available in Sugar Maple.
About Vater Classics Series: These profiles and sizes have been some of the core models in the drumstick world since the birth of the “trap set”. Jack Adams [Alan & Ron Vater’s Grandfather] even hand-turned some of these drumstick profiles at Jack’s Drum Shop in Boston back in the 1950’s and 60’s. Fast forward to the 1980’s, before the Vater brand was launched, the Vater Family found themselves lathe turning these same stick designs for their biggest customer who happens to now be one of our direct competitors.
We’re revisiting some Vater History with Vater Classics. 6 core models lathe turned to their classic specs and profiles, just like we made back in our barn in the 1980’s. Now players have the choice of either Sugar Maple or Hickory for the Classics 7A, 5A, 5B, 2B, Big Band and 8D Jazz designs. Available in both wood tip and nylon tip options.
Try them out for yourself and see why that major competitor himself once called them “the finest hickory drum sticks in the world!” in a hand-written letter to the Vater Family which hangs on our wall to this day.

"Vater makes the best sticks out there by far and if it wasn't for them I'd just be air drumming!! I choose the 5B because it's not to skinny and not too fat, I get the power and the speed that I need." - Brann Dailor [Mastodon]
"There's only only stick that can deliver the Death Punch and it's Vater! I need a stick that's the perfect balance of weight, length and durability. The only one I've found that delivers is the Vater 5B." -Jeremy Spencer [Five Finger Death Punch]
"The only stick that can stand up to the abuse night after night" - Kent Diimmel [In This Moment]
"My stick of choice has changed extremely little over my 25+ years as a drummer. The Vater 5B allows me enough girth for power and loudness while allowing just the right lightness for jazz and other dynamic playing." – Claude Coleman [Ween/Eagles of Death Metal]
