Vater Prepacks: A Smarter Way to Buy Sticks

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. Plus, each pair of these 3As is matched by weight for exceptional left-right balance. Finally, Vater's wood tips exhibit a dynamic response on cymbals and a familiar rebound on drums for accurate buzzes and rudiments.

Discover a better drumstick with Vater

Whether you play an acoustic kit, electronic drums, or auxiliary percussion, Vater drumsticks and accessories put tonal choice, playability, and dependability into your hands. The company's offerings range from signature sticks from industry heavy hitters to off-the-shelf maple and hickory sticks for jazz to metal players, in addition to plenty of specialty products. Make sure to contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer to find the right Vater products for you.

Reviews

Great stick!
I absolutely love these sticks!! I have played a 5B for years but as I get older, they feel a little too thick for my liking. I contacted Vater about a suggestion for a stick that’s not as think as a 5B. They suggested this stick and I’m glad they did! I love the feel and the taper of the stick. I really like the tip as well. I’m used to playing an acorn tip but I’m liking this tip better. Great job Vater!! You guys rock!!

Perfect combination of Balance, Weight, and Durability!!
I have used these sticks for over 20 years and they are always consistent. I have entertained the idea switching to a different brand but after purchasing other sticks from the competition and really putting them to the test nothing compares to this model or stick company. They're always consistent and durable! I truly appreciate Tom Phillips & Sweetwater for the extra effort to get them to me fast and flawless as well.
