Vater MVTS2N Sumo Tenor Stick (Pair)

Combining the raw power of a sumo wrestler with precision control, the SUMO Tenor stick represents the perfect fusion of traditional drumstick design and mallet functionality. This innovative percussion tool features a large round black nylon tip that creates exceptional surface contact, producing a big yet articulate sound that cuts through any mix. The carefully balanced hickory shaft provides drummers with enhanced speed and control, while delivering those crisp "wood" rim shots without the unwanted vibration typically associated with aluminium alternatives.

The versatility of the SUMO Tenor extends beyond the drum kit, offering excellent feel and response on practice pads, making it an ideal choice for both studio work and live performance applications. Its unique design bridges the gap between conventional sticks and mallets, giving percussionists access to a broader sonic palette.

Vater officially launched in November 1991, though the family’s drumstick craftsmanship began decades earlier in the basement of Boston’s legendary Jack’s Drum Shop, creating bespoke items for discerning musicians. Operating from their Holbrook, Massachusetts headquarters, Vater has built an extensive product line featuring hundreds of different models, earning the trust of world-renowned drummers including Chad Smith, Stewart Copeland, and Josh Freeze. Their commitment remains unchanged: producing the finest drumsticks and percussion accessories available anywhere in the world.
