Vater VH55BB 55BB American Hickory Drumsticks (Pair)

Designed for drummers who need that extra reach without the bulk, the 55BB model bridges the gap between comfort and performance with its extended length and classic acorn tip design. This stick maintains the familiar feel of the popular 5B size while offering just enough additional reach to suit players who demand more from their equipment without compromising on balance or adding unnecessary weight.

Vater's journey began long before their official establishment in November 1991, with the family's drumstick craftsmanship rooted in the basement of Boston's legendary Jack's Drum Shop decades earlier. From these humble beginnings creating bespoke items, the company has grown into a respected manufacturer operating from their Holbrook, Massachusetts headquarters, where they now produce hundreds of different models to meet the diverse needs of drummers worldwide.

The brand has earned recognition from world-renowned artists including Chad Smith, Stewart Copeland, and Josh Freeze, testament to their commitment to quality and innovation. Vater's straightforward mission remains unchanged: to produce the finest drumsticks and percussion accessories available, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing techniques to serve drummers at every level.
