Wood drumsticks break. It's just part of our job. So instead of rushing out to the music store 10 minutes before showtime, why not stock up for a rainy day, and save money in the process, with Vater drumstick prepacks. Vater's select hickory feels substantial in the hands. Each pair of these 3As is matched by weight for exceptional left-right balance. Vater's nylon tips are consistent, cutting, and built to hold up under the stress of heavy playing.
