Dan Peters from Mudhoney spent years searching for the perfectly weighted drumstick before discovering the Vater Teardrop Cymbal Stick. This 5A sized grip features warm low tones and is crafted from Sugar Maple for a lighter touch. Peters praises its exceptional action off drums and cymbals, creating an effortless feel and smooth movement around the entire kit.
The Vater brand officially launched in November 1991, though the family’s drumstick heritage began decades earlier in the basement of Boston’s legendary Jack’s Drum Shop, where they crafted bespoke items. Operating from their headquarters in Holbrook, Massachusetts, Vater now produces hundreds of different models and attracts world-renowned drummers including Chad Smith, Stewart Copeland, and Josh Freeze.
At Vater, the mission remains straightforward: to produce the very best drumsticks and percussion accessories in the world. Their commitment to quality and craftsmanship has made them a trusted choice among professional musicians seeking reliable, high-performance drumsticks.
