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. Each pair of these 5As is matched by weight for exceptional left-right balance. Vater's wood tips exhibit a dynamic response on cymbals and a familiar rebound on drums for accurate buzzes and rudiments.

Vater LA 5A

Let me just start off by saying that I am a HARD hitter, and I have had Vic Firths break on me after only a week or two of use.

However, these Vater Los Angeles 5A sticks do. Not. Break. Whether I'm crashing my ride with the shoulder of the stick, playing my hi hats with the shaft of the stick for a crunchier sound, or working on playing even, consistent rimshots, it doesn't matter just how bad I chip/shave off the same pair I've been using for about a month; I know it's not going to break on me anytime soon.

You won't find a better stick pack. Worth every penny.

Much better than Vic Firths.

I like these Vater sticks much more than my Vic Firths. I find Vic's to be a bit too "dry" when holding, but these have a much smoother and easier-to-grip finish. But at the end of the day, they're sticks, buy various brands, try 'em out. These work, simple as. Great value.

A must have

These Los Angeles 5 A sticks have been my go to sticks for a few years now. They last a very long time and feels good in the hands. I recommend to try these sticks. My only suggestion to Vater is to put the logo on the sticks in the center of the sticks so it shows the brand. Where the logo is at now, you can't see the name because your hand is covering it. Just a little constructive criticism.

THESE ARE GREAT!

I always would buy cheap sound percussion stick from guitar center but i gave these a try and they are great. Price is totally reasonable and Ive been using them for about a month and have only broke one. I am heavy hitter in a metal band. I highly recommend them!
