"I have an emotional attachment to my Vater sticks...without them, there is no show!" - Mike Fuentes [Pierce The Veil]

"I really enjoy the Vater 2B's because of how strong and durable they are. I tend to hit very hard so I like a pair of sticks that can take plenty of punishment without worrying about them breaking off in my hand every song. I added weight of the sticks helps me to really lay into every hit and make sure that I get the most out of each drum." - Chris Vest [Framing Hanley]

"Vater 2B's are where it's at. I'm pleased to have found such a brave and resolute stick." - Miles Morris [Bad Suns]

American Hickory dowels have to meet very strict quality characteristics to become a Vater drumstick. Vater only uses dowels that have a specific moisture content, straightness and grain structure, to produce a higher quality drumstick.

These Vater 2B Drumsticks are formed from hickory—the most popular drumstick material. Hickory is dense and strong so it is resistant to chipping and breaking. Stronger than maple, it also absorbs a lot of shock. As a result, these sticks lessen wrist and hand fatigue while playing.

Vater guarantees their drumsticks to be straighter, more consistent and of higher quality than all other leading drumstick manufacturers. 100% of Vater’s drumsticks are manufactured in the USA. All Vater Drumsticks are tone and weight matched by computer analysis.
