Vater Drumsticks VSMSD9W SD9 Sugar Maple Series Oval Wood TIp

Made in the USA from high grade Sugar Maple, Vater Drumsticks are still made the same as they've always been, resulting in a consistent and durable drumstick. Sugar Maple is a light durable wood and makes an ideal choice for a drummer looking for a thicker stick without the extra weight. All Vater Drumsticks are tone and weight matched by computer analysis. The popular Vater Sugar Maple SD9 measures just over a 5B in the grip and features an oval wood tip with a short neck taper for a full sound and is available in both Hickory and Sugar Maple. The Hickory version is the right choice for live and harder hitting performance settings, while this 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.
