Vater - Sugar Maple 9A (Wood Tip) Drumsticks - VSM9AW

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. The Vater 9A has a grip size between a 5A and 5B and features a smaller sized barrel wood tip for great cymbal clarity and focused drum tones. The short taper gives it a quick feel and rebound 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.
