American Hickory Los Angeles 5A Drumsticks Regular Wood

American Hickory Los Angeles 5A Drumsticks Regular Wood

Vater

Description

American Hickory dowels have to meet very strict quality characteristics to become a Vater drum stick. Vater only uses dowels that have a specific moisture content, straightness and grain structure, to produce a higher quality drum stick.

These Vater American Hickory Los Angeles 5A drum sticks are formed from hickory—the most popular drum stick material. Hickory is dense and strong so it is resistant to chipping and breaking. Stronger than maple, it also absorbs a lot of shock. As a result, these sticks lessen wrist and hand fatigue while playing.

Vater guarantees their drum sticks to be straighter, more consistent and of higher quality than all other leading drum stick manufacturers. 100% of Vater’s drum sticks are manufactured in the U.S.A. All Vater drum sticks are tone and weight matched by computer analysis.

Available with wood or nylon tips.

    I've been a loyal Vater user for over 15 years (5A Los Angeles) and never had a problem with durability however, lately THE TIPS KEEP POPPING OFF! I've lost the tips on 5 sticks over the last few weeks on brand new sticks. I'm not a basher and I've never had this problem even on worn sticks that are about to break.

  • Great and functional
