Vater Drumsticks VHSD9W SD9 American Hickory Series Barrel Wood Tip

Made in the USA from high grade American hickory, Vater Drumsticks are made the same as they've always been, resulting in a consistent and durable drumstick: Hands-on craftsmanship, higher moisture content in the raw material, lathe turned, tumble finished and hand rolled. All Vater Drumsticks are tone and weight matched by computer analysis. Just over a 5B in diameter the Vater SD9 features an oval tip with a short neck taper for a full sound. The SD9 is available in both Hickory and Sugar Maple. The Hickory version is the right choice for live and harder hitting performance settings, while the Sugar Maple version is perfect for more laid back, subtle playing styles, as well as orchestral and lesson room type settings, or for those who like the feel of a chunky drumstick but with less weight.
