Vater

Nylon tip version of best-selling Vater sticks.

These nylon-tipped Vater 5A hickory drumsticks are very responsive, comfortable, and balanced.

Hickory is the most popular wood used for making drumsticks because it is denser, heavier and more rigid than maple. Hickory can also absorb a great amount of shock, which reduces hand and wrist fatigue.

These sticks are made of dark, or "brown" hickory that's found closer to the tree's center and is slightly denser and heavier than "white" hickory.


All drumsticks are NOT created equal! Get your hands around a pair of Vater sticks today!

  • 5A: 16"L, 570" diameter
  • 5B: 16"L, .605" diameter

Awesome sticks for the price

I have been playing drums for a shade under 20 years and i have had the pleasure of using every brand of stick there is.  This stick has stood up to a lot of punishment and will be taking a lot more for many more years.  This is my stick of choice.  It should be yours too.

I've been playing drums now for 43 yrs, and I was a Vic Firth stickman till recently. A friend gave me a pair of Vater 5BN to try and I've been using them ever since. Sure, I've had a few break while playing but name a stick from any other manufactuers that hasnt. Vater sticks have outlasted any other sticks I have tried, and for the money you cant go wrong with these. If you are looking for a cheap(moneywise) but yet durable set of sticks, then BUY,BUY,BUY, you wont regret it!

I bought 4 pairs, and I don't regret it. They beat Vic Firth in durability no doubt. I am a VERY hard hitter, and I don't have particularly good stick technique. I own the 5BNs. I have broken one stick so far, and I've had them for 3 weeks..I used to break vic firth 5a probably one every 3 or 4 days..if they lasted that long. GREAT PRODUCT!
