Greater Power from a Smaller Stick

Vater Pro Rock drumsticks give you rock-concert power and projection without the heft of a larger stick. Sized at just under a traditional 5A, the Vater Pro Rock tapers late in the shaft for extra power at the tip. This means a heavier backbeat and greater acceleration while you retain full control of the stick. Vater Pro Rock drumsticks are made from hand-selected hickory for dependable straightness and durability. Nylon oval tips are bright and articulate on cymbals — a feature which Sweetwater knows stage drummers will appreciate.

Vater American Hickory Pro Rock Nylon Tip Drumsticks
The Vater American Hickory Pro Rock Nylon Tip drumsticks are the very best (top notch) drumsticks
that a drummer can use (my personal opinion). These sticks are very durable, well balanced, and
perfect for all styles of music. The diameter is 0.555" and the length is 16.25" with a great
(perfectly sized/large shape) nylon oval tip. Plus, the taper of the stick is absolutely perfect (very important). All of these elements combined make the recipe for a perfect drumstick. The moisture content
within the wood that Vater uses for their sticks makes these sticks very durable and musical.

These sticks are straight, computer balanced, and pitched to perfection.
The tonal properties when recording are amazing.
I recommend these sticks for both recording studio and live performance applications.

I have been a professional drummer for over 40 years and I can say that these
drumsticks are truly the best drumsticks that I have ever used.

Vater has taken great steps to produce a very high quality product.
There is a lot of detail that goes into these great sticks during the manufacturing process.
If you want to find out more about the details behind Vater drumsticks, visit their website.
I'm sure that you will find some very interesting facts and details there in regards to the
manufacturing process and materials used to create these amazing drumsticks.
I'm very proud and happy to be using Vater drumsticks.

The Vater American Hickory Pro Rock Nylon Tip drumsticks meet my personal
expectations perfectly. I nicknamed these: "my magic sticks".

I highly recommend trying a pair of Vater American Hickory Pro Rock Nylon Tip drumsticks.
I personally feel that they are truly the best.
