Vater VHC8DJW Classics 8D American Hickory Jazz Wood Tip Drumsticks (Pair)

This extended 7A drumstick stretches to a full 16 inches, combining the familiar grip diameter with extra length for enhanced reach and control. The carefully crafted taper flows into an acorn tip design, creating a stick that responds naturally under your hands while producing warm yet articulate cymbal sounds.

The Vater story began long before the company's official founding in November 1991, with the family's drumstick craftsmanship taking root in the basement of Boston's legendary Jack's Drum Shop decades earlier. From those humble beginnings creating bespoke pieces, the brand has grown into a major force in percussion manufacturing.

Operating from their Holbrook Massachusetts headquarters, Vater now produces hundreds of different drumstick models and percussion accessories. Their artist roster includes world–renowned players such as Chad Smith, Stewart Copeland, and Josh Freeze, testament to the brand's commitment to manufacturing the finest drumsticks and percussion accessories available globally.
