American Hickory 5B Drum Sticks Regular Wood

Vater

collapse expand iconDescription

American Hickory dowels have to meet very strict quality characteristics to become a Vater drum stick. Vater only uses dowels that have a specific moisture content, straightness and grain structure, to produce a higher quality drum stick.

These Vater 5B drum sticks are formed from hickory—the most popular drum stick material. Hickory is dense and strong, so it is resistant to chipping and breaking. Stronger than maple, it also absorbs a lot of shock. As a result, these sticks lessen wrist and hand fatigue while playing.

Vater guarantees their drum sticks to be straighter, more consistent and of higher quality than all other leading drum stick manufacturers. 100% of Vater’s drum sticks are manufactured in the USA. All Vater Drum sticks are tone and weight matched by computer analysis.

    I like these Vater hickory sticks because the tips don't break easily, and I hardly ever break one. Most of the time, the shoulder chips off or the snare stick shreds in the middle from rimshots. Best is the buy three get one free deal at GC.

    Great sticks I play a lot every week. These sticks are durable and reliable, and they always feel good to play. All of the variations of 5b's are great the sugar maple sticks are perfect for recording. And the the power 5b's are amazing and versatile as well . I usually stick with the regular 5b perfect drum sticks in my opinion.

  • Would buy again
