VaterRock Wood Tip Hickory Drum Sticks, Pair

Been using these sticks for quite a while now. I like the 2B diameter, and love the longer length! I'm pretty rough on them but they last for a bit. Might switch back over to the nylon tips as these wooden tips are chipping a little, with can damage your heads if you're not paying attention.

after experimenting with various brands of sticks during my fledgeling years as a drummer, i came across a (then) new stick from Vater. the claim was that it wouldn't break like competitors' sticks do. i tried a sample pair and after one week, bought a case. this was in 1991, and i have been playing Vater ever since. the unique thing about these sticks is, that they rarely split down the middle, lengthwise. rather, they begin to splinter, similar to an onion being peeled, layer by layer. for anyone who plays a lot of rim shots on their backbeat, as i do, this durability is something worth its weight in gold. sure, not every stick is for everyone, but the Vater proved itself to be the stick for me. and no, this is not a paid endorsement. i still buy my sticks like everyone else. this is the honest truth, based on 22 years of testing and proving. hope this review helps

I normally play Vic Firth 5A. Wanted to try these as an alternative that is slightly larger diameter and a little more weighted toward the tip. While these fit those criteria, they transmit a lot more vibration to my hands than what I am used to, so I will not purchase these again. But they seem to be well made, so I can appreciate others might like these depending on what the are used to.

Hard hitting sticks, good choice.

Switched from the Los Angeles 5A to these. They just feel right when I use them. Grip is .560 with a 16 1/4" length. This is a touch longer and skinnier then the 5a. Try these if you are looking for a 5a alternative.

I've been using Vater sticks for years. I like the Pro Rock sticks because they're a tad longer, so they give you a little more reach. If you've never used Vater, they're extremely durable and lost longer than any brand I've used. They have a denser feel than other sticks I've used like Vic Firth or ProMark. The surface of the stick also feels a little less grippy - you may want to wrap them. All around a great stick, highly recommended.

These are truly matched in balance and sonic characteristics - they produce the best sound of any drumstricks I've ever used. Since I go through a pair a week, I will be reordering.

These are great for playing small rooms where volume is an issue. Great feel and consistent from pair to pair.

重さ、長さは平均的で使いやすく、滑らないとおもう。やはりネットなので、2本の重さがかなり違う。店なら測れるのだが。

Okay, great quality as always from Vater but just a bit thick for me personally. Good warm up sticks though.

Utilizzo queste bacchette per suonare diversi generi, dai più soft ai più spinti e ritengo che diano il meglio nel secondo caso. Infatti, a mio parere, invogliano a "pestare" un po' di più rispetto alla norma, forse per via del loro diametro abbastanza generoso e della spalla molto pronunciata e spostata in avanti. Nonostante il peso e le dimensioni, la bacchetta risulta ben bilanciata e dal buon rimbalzo. Inoltre la forma cilindrica della punta permette di avere una buona definizione dell'attacco sui piatti. Dal punto di vista della durata sono eccellenti. Arrivano tranquillamente a durare un mese prima di iniziare a spellarsi.In definitiva consiglio questo articolo in particolar modo a chi suona rock pop e simili. Il prodotto è di ottima qualità.

The product is good, however it was not quite what I expected, I bought this pair in impression because my favourite drummer, Matt McGuire used this pair,but they are very narrow,I expected them to be a bit thick...I am a 2b user and this one was like 5a I think... product is excellent but not for drummers who play with thick 2b like pairs

Buon suono sui Ride e ottimo bilanciamento. Abituato da una vita alle Manhattan 7A queste mi sembrano pesanti un botto ma è una gran bacchetta e ha la solidità da riferimento.
