Description

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.

  • The only stick I like playing now
Style: Chad Smith
These sticks are great, decently heavy, not a light stick which I love. They’re super easy to fire fast and stay controlled more so than some other sticks I’ve played on.

  • Nice

Got them for my boyfriend. He likes them!

  • I love these sticks
Style: Chad Smith
I love these sticks. They have that 5b feel but aren't as heavy. The acorn tip makes it a little more durable then other sticks. Highly recommend these for any hard hitters.

  • Great Product
Style: Chad Smith
I’ve been playing drums for 16 years and I’ve played a lot to Chad Smith’s style. These are the most comfortable sticks to use if you’re a drummer who plays really loose.

  • No son tan livianas
Style: Chad Smith
Pero muy buenas para tocar, no recomendadas para calentar.

  • Love Chad, sticks are too light
Style: Chad Smith
Saw the funny video of Chad Smith sitting on the toilet talking about these drumsticks. How could you not buy them?! The shape and size are great but the Hickory is far too light for my taste.
