Vater American Hickory Classics 5A - Wood Tip
Description
Description
5A with an acorn tip for a nice and full sound from drums and cymbals. Solid and responsive model that practically plays itself.
Vater Classics Series have profiles and sizes that have been some of the core models in the drumstick world since the birth of the “trap set”. Jack Adams [Alan & Ron Vater’s Grandfather] even hand-turned some of these drumstick profiles at Jack’s Drum Shop in Boston back in the 1950’s and 60’s. Fast forward to the 1980’s, before the Vater brand was launched, the Vater Family found themselves lathe turning these same stick designs for their biggest customer who just happens to now be one of their well known direct competitors.
Revisiting some Vater History with Vater Classics. These core models are lathe turned to their classic specs and profiles, just like they made back in their barn in the 1980’s.
- Length: 16" (40.64cm)

- Tip: Wood Acorn Tip
American Hickory is the most popular wood choice for drumsticks due to its shock absorption and durability and Vater uses the two best Hickory species, which are Shellbark and Shagbark Hickory. Vater's material has to meet very strict quality characteristics to be made into a their drumstick. They only use dowels that have a moisture content specific to "striking" tools (10%-12%), so you get a drumstick with great feel and durability.
Each time a Hickory tree is harvested by any of their suppliers, another one is planted. New trees are also produced from the Hickory nuts that naturally fall from the trees.
