Vater VHCHADW Chad Smith Funk Blaster Signature Drumsticks (Pair)

Built with the familiar grip of a 5B but engineered with a heavier taper, these drumsticks pack extra weight and durability for drummers who demand more from their gear. This responsive and versatile model excels in heavy and solid playing situations, making it an ideal choice for rock, metal, and other demanding musical styles.

The Vater brand officially launched in November 1991, though the family’s drumstick heritage stretches back decades to their humble beginnings crafting bespoke items in the basement of Boston’s legendary Jack’s Drum Shop. From those early days, they’ve grown into a respected manufacturer with headquarters in Holbrook, Massachusetts, developing hundreds of different models to suit every drummer’s needs.

Today, Vater attracts world-renowned drummers including Chad Smith, Stewart Copeland, and Josh Freeze, all drawn to the brand’s commitment to excellence. Their straightforward mission remains unchanged: to produce the very best drumsticks and percussion accessories in the world, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation.
