## Overview

The Vater Gospel Fusion Hickory Wood Tip Drum Sticks are expertly crafted 16.5-inch sticks made from durable hickory wood, designed specifically for Gospel drumming but versatile enough for all styles.

Trusted by professional drummers, they combine durability, extended reach, and dynamic responsiveness to enhance your performance.

## Description

Under the direction of several Vater Artists including Gorden Campbell, Nisan Stewart, Cora Coleman-Dunham and Chris Johnson, Vater is the first drumstick company to introduce a line of drumsticks geared towards the Gospel Drumming genre. Vater's Gospel Series consists of three Hickory models designed to meet the feel, weight and volume needs of Gospel drummers. The Gospel Series models measure in at 16.5" for some extra length and three diameters to suit the variety of volume, dynamic and venues size challenges these drummers face. The round tip provides great cymbal clarity and rebound from around the drum kit. The Gospel Series is finished in a white stain. Length: 16 1/2" Diameter: .580"

Review: Excellent - Love these sticks! Unlike another reviewer, I have had no problems with paint chipping at all. I uses these and the Vic Firth Buddy Rich sticks, which are also finished in white paint. No flaking. (I think he might have gotten some of the "seconds" or irregulars available for about $4 a pair--less than half the sell price--which are offered at such deep discounts because they have issues with the finish. For the record, I even have a few pairs of those "irregular" sticks I bought at a deep discount and have had no problems with paint chips flying.) The sticks are dense and heavy, which I happen to like, and the thick taper from shoulder to the round tip provides great bounce for double-strokes and nice rebound. The stick length is also to my liking (16.5") and provides great reach. These are terrific sticks for rock and heavier-hitting Gospel. If you like a heavier and longer stick than a standard 5B, check them out. For a slightly lighter, less dense version of this stick, the Gospel Fusions and 5As are good alternatives in a longer stick. These have become my go-to sticks.
Review: Great sticks from the best stick company - My favorite drum sticks ever. They’re what I’m used to but they have the perfect feel and balance to them and are very durable. Vater sticks are simply made better than the competition. I do miss when these were painted white. I’m not sure what gospel music has to do with the stick design but the extra length is excellent.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good sticks!
*by B***N on January 9, 2018*

I like the Vater brand, so I thought I would try these. Definitely a bit longer than the normal 5As from what i can tell. Not sure they will ever be my main stick, but a decent product and im sure they excel in certain applictions.
