Vater 5B Wood Tip Hickory Drum Sticks, Pair

The Vater family history with drumsticks dates back decades, to the basement of Boston's legendary Jack's Drum Shop, where Alan and Ron's grandfather, Jack Adams, hand-turned drumsticks for drummers like Buddy Rich as early as 1956. The Vater brand was officially established in November of 1991, but the brothers' involvement in the industry began much earlier.

In the early to mid-1980s, the Vater Brothers started producing private-label drumsticks alongside sticks for Vic Firth and Zildjian. A few years later, they decided to move their business to a new factory in Holbrook, MA, marking a significant milestone in the company's history.

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 into the Vater family.

At Vater, the goal is simple: to produce the very best drumsticks and percussion accessories in the world. One of the products that embodies this mission is the Wood Tip drumstick, which boasts a very responsive, comfortable, and balanced design with an acorn tip. This stick is extremely versatile, making it a popular choice among drummers.

The Wood Tip drumstick measures 16 inches in length and has a diameter of .605 inches, ensuring a perfect blend of size, weight, and balance. The acorn tip provides a unique and versatile tone, making it suitable for a wide range of musical styles and applications.

In the decades since the Vater family's involvement in the drum industry, the company has become synonymous with quality, innovation, and a commitment to excellence. From the humble beginnings in Jack's Drum Shop to the global recognition the brand enjoys today, the Vater story is one of passion, dedication, and a relentless pursuit of perfection.

As the drumming community continues to evolve, the Vater brand remains at the forefront, constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible in drum and percussion accessories. With the Wood Tip drumstick and countless other innovative products, Vater continues to inspire and empower drummers around the world to reach new heights in their craft.
