Your cart is empty.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.

Broke after 1.5 Cake songs on an Alesis Nitro Mesh e-kit. I play pretty light, usually can keep a pair going for a few months at least.

I wanted some really light 7A's for jazz or when I'm playing with orchestral instruments and these are it! Slightly lighter than standard Hickory sticks and just as durable.

My go to stick is the hickory Manhattan 7a. But when I play in a piano, bass, drums trio I use the lighter sugar maple for less volume. The balance of the stick is excellent, its 16 inches in length witch makes it a little longer than most 7a sticks from other manufacturers.

I bought these for my son. He uses them for rock drumming as he finds 5As uncomfortable to hold. This means they're getting thrashed and broken quite quickly, but he does really enjoy playing with them.

These were different to the previous Vater Manhattan drum sticks we have ordered. For starters they didn’t say Manhattan on them as others have. Sticks seem ok quality but not sure they were what we thought we had ordered.

During band practice and at smaller gigs, I try to avoid playing with multi-rods whenever possible. These are capable of playing significantly quieter than your typical hickory 5As (a little louder than rods, but feel great).

I really think Vater makes the best sticks, and I've tried them all. These are nice. Good balance and nice woody sound for rim shots.

Been trying different sticks for a few months now. Of the 5 or 6 o have tried from different manufacturers and woods these by far provide the best balance between sound and durability. Will be 'sticking' with these...;)

Great pair of sticks! I like them for practicing. They are a lighter stick and are a bit quieter when played with. They also are a softer wood so be careful, they dent easily if hit on a rim or edge of cymbal.

These sticks are light and I suggest using them for softer songs, not for hard hitters. They are slim with the Vater balance. Remember sticks are as personal to drummers as strings are to guitarists. Being a light stick you have to work it a bit because it wont have the weight as other sticks you find. It is a light and out of the ordinary stick, but very good.. I do a lot of rolling so they work for me if you are a single stroke hitter they may not suit you. But Vaters are top notch as usual.
