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 5Bs 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.

Great!

I only buy these sticks now. They are great quality and last pretty long for how hard I play. 5 stars
Rated 5/5

All around versatile stick.

I've been using Vater 5B nylon sticks for over 20 years. They work for in many different musical situations heavy or not and they feel great in the hands. Great balance and durability playing fast or slow. Ride cymbals sound clear and crisp and the bells sounds are very distinct. You can't go wrong with these.

Great Sticks!!

Vater is my new go to stick provider!! Never again will I use a Vic. These sticks are light, tough, and big all at the same time! I have had these for several months now and I have only broken 1 pair. Being the heavy hitter that I am, that AMAZES me! And they're so cheap too!! I will probably break 3 Vic Firth's for every 1 of these!!
Rated 4.5/5

The BEST drumsticks that I've ever played

These sticks are perfect, I've been playing them since before Christmas and they hold up very well under extreme playing. The nylon tips are almost impossible to break off too, which is a plus because the promarks I tried broke in a week! These are great sticks and are good for any style of music, they last way longer than any Vic firth stick I've played, Bottom line, BUY THESE STICKS!!!

The nylon tips come off

I'm a huge fan of Vater but, the tip of these have consistently disconnected from the stick. I've switched to Vater 5B wood tip and haven't had any issue.
