VATER Maple Sweet Ride Wood

Made in the USA from high grade Sugar Maple, Vater Drumsticks are still made the same as they've always been, resulting in a consistent and durable drumstick. Sugar Maple is a light durable wood and makes an ideal choice for a drummer looking for a thicker stick without the extra weight. All Vater Drumsticks are tone and weight matched by computer analysis. Slightly smaller than the Vater Manhattan 7A in grip size, the Vater Sweetride features an extra small round wood tip for outstanding clarity on cymbals and is available in both Hickory and Sugar Maple. The Hickory version is the right choice for live and harder hitting performance settings, while this Sugar Maple version is perfect for more laid back, subtle playing styles, as well as orchestral and lesson room type settings.
