These sticks are my go-to sticks. they are amazing. I have a pair that lasted me over three weeks of playing, now that's no guarantee for anyone using them but it is possible. these sticks are greatly and fairly priced.could not recomend them more!

    • Fantastic
Size: Power 5A Style: Wood Tip
Iโ€™ve been a Vic Firth X5A guy my whole drumming life, but these are more affordable and more durable. I like the weight of a 5A but prefer my sticks to be a little longer. These hold up great. After a few practices thereโ€™s barely any wear. No complaints

Review Image by Gregory Hines Gregory Hines
I used to play Vic Firth 2b wood tip and I wanted to change things up and go lighter to improve stick speed. Despite loving nylon tip, I always shied away from them because the tips would pop off. VATER has changed the game in that department with their build and construction process. The nylon tip becomes part of the stick rather than a glued-on adhesive part. The stick will break before the tip will and coming from personal experience, this is true. So, there you have it, a solid, lightweight stick that takes a serious beating from a metal drummer and lasts the tests of time at a more than affordable price. Bonus, your tips won't break off. So, when another company asks you to play the game, "Just the Tip", just SAY NO!!! ... show more

    • Lots of weight variation, not as durable as Vic Firth.
Size: Power 5B Style: Wood Tip
I used to use Vic Firth HD9 but they are no longer available and VF has gotten very expensive. I was excited to play something similar and save some money but I've found across ordering several pairs, that although the matched pairs are even, comparing several matched pairs some are light and some much heavier. I prefer the lighter weight. VF was much more consistent on this front. Also the Vaders are less durable. I've noticed the tips chip quite easy and the sticks break faster. That said, I'm wondering if I'm really saving anything? ... show more

    • These Vater Power 5A nylon tip sticks are incredible!
Size: Power 5A Style: Nylon Tip
I've been through so many different stick manufacturers with so many variations in length and diameter. I've struggled to find "my perfect pair," however after acquiring these Vater Power 5A nylon tipped sticks, the search has finally ended. These sticks have the perfect length and diameter that I have narrowed down to what feels best in my hands...16 1/2" and .580 diameter. The taper at the front of the stick is not too short and it's not too long, allowing just enough weight in the front to feel like you have some throw, but not so front heavy that you get fatigued. They have a great rebound. I used to have such a problem purchasing Vater sticks in the past where the weight and / or tone pairing was soooo off. But I've ordered four pairs of these sticks from Amazon recently and all four pairs were perfectly matched by weight and pitch. Not sure if Vater tightened up their variances, or what. I started using these nylon tipped sticks after doing some research because I use mesh drum heads on my acoustic kit. I love the feel and the tone of these nylon tipped sticks. And the best part of these Vater sticks is the incredible durability of these sticks. They are very strong and show very little cymbal wear after going to town on these sticks for a week and a half or so. Love these sticks. Think I have finally found my go-to! ... show more

    • Good def not the best or my personal favorites!!
Size: Power 5A Style: Wood Tip
I have been playing drums off and on for about 20 years or so and I had never tried Vater sticks. I usually use the Pro Mark with the Japanese Oak (can't remember the actual name of them think the first word is Shizu but I could be wrong.) or I would use Vic Firth's. I usually use 5A as they aren't too heavy but they are bulky and durable, so that's what I got these Vater sticks in as well. So far I have used them off and on as my Pro Marks I started earlier are beasts and just keep going but I've used these and they are good don't get me wrong but I know me playing heavy rock/metal music they aren't going to last as long as Pro Mark for sure they MIGHT outlast Vic Firth time will tell. They are worth buying and trying cause the price is cheap and maybe it's just me but I honestly was hoping that they would be a lot better than they were. Just my opinion though. ... show more

    • The Best
Size: Power 5B Style: Wood Tip
Iโ€™ve been playing Vater 5Bโ€™s for years, but always felt like I needed just a little bit more reach. These fixed that problem. Still the same feel of a regular 5B, but just enough extra length to be able to reach every drum and cymbal in my setup. Iโ€™ll never use another stick.
