Vater 5A Nylon Tip Hickory Drum Sticks, Pair

The Vater family's history with drumsticks dates back decades, to the basement of Boston's legendary Jack's Drum Shop, where their grandfather, Jack Adams, hand-turned drumsticks for drummers like Buddy Rich as early as 1956. However, the Vater brand was officially established in November of 1991.

In the early to mid-1980s, the Vater brothers, Alan and Ron, began producing private-label drumsticks alongside sticks for Vic Firth and Zildjian. This led to their decision to move their business to a new factory in Holbrook, MA, a few years later.

Over the past decade, the Vater family and product line have expanded greatly, introducing innovative products such as the Splash Stick and Acoustic, and welcoming renowned drummers like Chad Smith, Stewart Copeland, and Josh Freeze to the Vater family.

At Vater, the goal is simple: to produce the very best drumsticks and percussion accessories in the world. The Nylon Tip 5A stick is a prime example of this commitment to excellence. Featuring a well-balanced design with a heavier tip for fast attack and response on drums, this stick measures 16 inches in length and has a diameter of .570 inches.
