    • Great sticks
Style: Wood Tip
My son plays drums and loves Vater sticks. I asked him what he likes so much about them- he said the only way he can describe it is “a great feel and weightiness.” Tip shape etc doesn’t matter much to him, and these sticks are equal in sturdiness to others he’s used, but he simply prefers these due to their great “feel”. Plus, Stewart Copeland prefers the brand- so enough said! ... show more

    • It's hickory for me, for over 40 years.
Style: Wood Tip
I just don't want pine drum sticks. Nice and smooth. Well balanced. Great price.

    • Decent pair of sticks for a beginner
Style: Wood Tip
These sticks were part of a bundle that came with an Evans Practice pad. These sticks seem pretty good to me but I am a beginner. They feel comparable to more expensive brand name sticks that I have been able to try over at a friends house. Worth a try and definitely fine for a beginner.

    • Great sticks
Style: Wood Tip
I like 5A sticks and usually went with the Vic Firth American Hickory 5As. That's a nice, classic pair but after the first hour of use I was constantly chipping pieces off the tips and thus blowing through sticks. I play rock and funk mostly, can go ape on the set from time to time so opportunities to chip / break are frequent. That is important to know for my review so if you are the same, you feel confident in trying them. Had a pair of Vader 7As when I was younger and liked them so figured I'd try my preferred stick size these days with Vater and got these. Awesome experience so far, maybe 4+ hours of use and there is not a single chip in either tip. Expected wear elsewhere on the stick, no signs of splintering, etc. Sticks are comfortable in hands, good weight... These will now be my go to pair. Check them out! ... show more

    • Worth the price
Style: Wood Tip
Very much so satisfy with sticks. Very straight grain for long using. They reach the zit on middle at my back so well. Perfect feel to popping. No more hopelessness from zit pain. Also great at ballance.

    • Best Sticks!
Style: Wood Tip
I am a drummer who plays roughly 2 gigs a week, and these get the job done! Was a travelling musician for a decade and these were my choice back then and still are today. My son is starting to get the drumming bug, and these hold up to his banging too. Highly recommend these sticks!

    • Nice size between 5A and 5B
Style: Wood Tip
Love the sticks size , great stuff, I like the Vic Firth 55A a little bit more for the size between 5A and 5B but I recommend both. I only like those a little more bc of the finish of the wood.
