Vater Prepacks: a Smarter Way to Buy Sticks

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

Vater's select hickory feels substantial in the hands. Each pair of these 5As 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.

Awesome product

I've been using this style of sticks for almost 20 years. I've tried other styles and brands throughout the years, but after a few minutes, I stop and my trusty pair of 5A nylon tip. They last through all the snare rim shots and cymbal bashing. From classic rock, metal, Prog, church, blues and country, I play it all. A drummer and their drum stick work as one. Vater sticks provide that feeling.

Vater drums sticks

Bought these finally after buying cheap ones while learning to play. So after learning a lot so far thought I'd give Vater sticks a try. After getting them I love them. That last longer have a great balance and feel with great stick definition on the cymbals. These sticks really did improve my sound and cymbal work esp on the ride cymbal. I will be buying more Vater sticks.

Heavy duty sticks

These sticks always last me the longest and I have tryed all the other main brands atleast several times over the years. I play heavier music progressive metalcore and with a blues funk cover band and these last me atleast a couple months a pair I have yet to break a single one of these sticks at a gig

Drum sticks

Arrived timely. Great sticks!
Rated 1/5

Not Durable

I bought these because they seemed like a deal - Bundle for the price. I play for a church, which translates to about twice a week: practice and Sunday morning. I break at least one of these sticks a week. Today was the anomaly, when 4 broke. I don't play necessarily hard, and other sticks like Vic Firths seem to take a bit to break. It's like a competition with those… they'll chip, but won't break easily. Vaters on the other hand start to peel, then just break. These would be ideal for a kid learning to play; not an experienced, adult drummer.
Music background: Drummer since 2000. Also, singer and can play acoustic and bass guitars.
