American Hickory Recording Drumsticks Wood

These Vater Recording drum sticks are formed from hickory��the most popular drum stick 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.

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

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