American Hickory Power 5A Drumsticks 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 Power 5A 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 normally use the Mike Mangini sticks, but they never have those in the stores. These Power 5As are basically the Mangini sticks, but slightly slightly thinner. I love having the longer length. A perfect non-signature stick

  • Really good sticks. Last long and feel good in my hands.

    So far I like them because they last long and a little longer than the usual sticks.

  • Vater is the top stick made today

    I LOVE Vater sticks. The seem to use a denser wood, so the stick is solid and sounds great on ride cymbals. Plus they're pitch paired! This model has a barrel tip- that's hard to find on other brands. A+++

  • GREAT STICKS!
