May have found my stick
So... I've tried mostly all the brands through the years. Decided it's between Vater and Pro Mark. I had played Vater in the past and there durability is great. I have played these the last two weeks at church. And wow the reach is there I don't have to lean or bend or over reach for anything which is important. Also the length 16 in a half is great.pro Mark's and others were a little over 16 inch long. Needed a little more for reach. I'll be buying more of these.

My favorite sticks!
i started out using the typical vic firth 5As which are 16" long and .565 diameter but overtime i noticed i wasn't a fan of the size, i wanted sticks slightly longer and just a little bit more weight and these vater 55AAs were the only stick close to the size i felt would be perfect and they did in fact NOT disappoint. my favorite sticks so far and i never plan on changing sticks again honestly. give em try!!!
Vater 55A New Favorite
I recently changed sticks from Vic Firth X5AN to this stick and I really like them. I usually don't like drum stick larger than 5a but these add just a little more thickness to the stick than a normal 5a and have great feel and rebound. The tip of the stick is great too, it adds definition to the cymbals for sure. 55A add enough power and feel for rock and all around playability. Try these out if you have the chance!
