Maker
Vater Percussion
Massachusetts stick maker
Vater grew out of a Boston drum shop and makes sticks in the United States with a large signature catalogue and a set of house models — Power 5A, Fusion, Manhattan 7A — that many drummers use without knowing the brand's history.
Models
-
Vater Manhattan 7A
Drumstick · United States
The Manhattan 7A is thin and long with a small round tip, giving a light, articulate cymbal sound at low volume.
-
Vater Sweet Ride
Drumstick · United States
The Sweet Ride's tip and taper are chosen for the ping it produces on a ride rather than for how it feels on a snare, which is an unusual way round to design a stick.
-
Vater Power 5A
Drumstick · United States
The Power 5A keeps the 5A's diameter and adds length, which moves the balance point and gives more reach without more weight in the hand.
Categories

Drumsticks & Mallets
Hickory, maple, and oak sticks by model number; wire and nylon brushes; and the yarn, cord, and felt mallets that concert percussion is played with.
