American Hickory Power 5B 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 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.

Available with wood or nylon tips.

    I use these for doom metal, pop punk, classic metal and punk covers, and everything in between. These sticks are incredibly durable and resilient, and have a gotta good hard hit to them without sacrificing speed, dexterity, feel, and/or responsiveness.

  • Great sticks but fragile for heavy hitters.

    Great feel and a great everyday stick, but if you hit cymbals hard they are quick to split
