VaterPower 5B Wood Tip Hickory Drumsticks, Pair

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!!!

I love these sticks! The extra length is nice and the tips have really good articulation on the cymbals. I love the balance. Wish Vater had a loyalty program like pro-mark (D'addario), however these are usually about $5 cheaper than the other name brand sticks so I guess it evens out.

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!

Super cool

I’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 there’s barely any wear. No complaints

I have always been a fan of and played with Vic F sticks, but I ran across these while looking for a different product and thought what the heck, it is kind of hard to find 5B sticks, so give them a test.Paired by balance and wood stock, I love these sticks for the price! It may be a long time before I buy another Vic F stick. If you play with 5B's give these a try, you will be pleased that you did.

Vater has been my go to sticks for a few years. I love the feel and balance they give. I have used the big name sticks for the big money they cost. I prefer vater. They would also be good for beginners who tend to chop them up on cymbals. They are a great stick and most inexpensive to replace.

The tip is perfect for electronic drums

Real solid feel, good snap to sound and just the right heft. Really pleased

Al parecer si resisten, las he usado unas 3 veces tienen buen equilibrio

Belle, buone per tirare "cannonate", anche piuttosto robuste e durevoli rispetto alle solite che usavo prima. Ho misurato il peso, balla un grammo tra una e l'altra e la nota delle due bacchette non è esattamente la stessa come invece promesso... ma meno peggio di altre abbinate della concorrenza.Un buon acquisto, se lo scopo non è la velocità ma la potenza.

Non capisco perché abbiano dovuto alzare cosi tanto il prezzo, compro lo stesso paio di bacchette da 2 anni qui su amazon per l'ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Prima con 20 euro potevo portarmi a casa due paia di bacchette ottime, adesso sarò costretto a cercare da un altra parte. Avete perso un cliente fidato.

Habe sie für meinen 7 jährigen Sohn gekauft, durch Empfehlung von seinem Lehrer, da er gerade dabei ist schlagzeug zu lernen. Wir sind sehr zufrieden. Für den Anfänger super gute Drumsticks, liegen auch schön in der Hand. Kann man nur empfehlen.
