Vater Prepacks: A Smarter Way to Buy Sticks

Wood drumsticks break. It's just part of our job. 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 5As 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.

Vater American Hickory Drumsticks - Los Angeles 5A (4-pack)
Excellent well-balanced sticks!
Best Sticks Ever!
Awesome sticks for any kind of rock. Great tone, weight, and super durable to be beaten absolutely shitless! Perfectly crafted to play Chili Peppers, Nirvana, Metallica and anything in between! Would definitely recommend and I will without a doubt buy again(if they ever break that is)
My Favorite Sticks
I've been using Vater LA 5As since the late 90s. They're the perfect sticks for me. And while other companies like Vic Firth have seen their quality drop in recent times, Vater has been consistent. And I've never even been to LA.
Music background: Drumming since 1994

Works great!
Great Sticks and Fantastic Value
The Vater Los Angeles 4-pack is a great value. These sticks are very well balanced and I can see why they constantly receive positive reviews. They sound great on the cymbals and drum heads and they are very comfortable in the hand. If you have not tried the Vater Los Angeles 5A, now is a good time to pick up the 4 pack offering and see why they consistently get good reviews. Thank you Sweetwater and a big thank you to Chris McCown who has been my sales engineer for all these years!
Music background: Drumming for the fun of it.
