Vater VSM9AW Sugar Maple 9A Wood Tip Drumsticks

Vater VSM9AW Sugar Maple 9A Wood Tip Drumsticks

The 9A measures comfortably in between a 5A and 5B in the grip and features a smaller sized barrel tip for great cymbal clairty and focused drum tones. The short taper gives it a quick feel and rebound. The 9A is available in both Hickory and Sugar Maple. The Sugar Maple version is perfect for more laid back, subtle playing styles, as well as orchestral and lesson room type settings. The Hickory version is the right choice for live and harder hitting performance settings. Big brother to the hugely popular Vater 8A.

The Vater brand was officially established in November of 1991, but the Vater family history with drumsticks started decades earlier, making a few bespoke items in the basement of Boston's legendary Jack's Drum Shop. Now with their headquarters in Holbrook Massachusetts, their product line features hundreds of different models and welcomes world renowned drummers like Chad Smith, Stewart Copeland, and Josh Freese. At Vater, their goal is simple, to produce the very best drumsticks and percussion accessories in the world.
