Vater VSMP5AW Sugar Maple Power 5A Wood Tip Drumsticks (Pair)

Designed for drummers who demand that extra edge in reach and power, this stick offers the familiar comfort of a 5A profile with an additional 1/2" length for enhanced performance capabilities. The extended design provides greater leverage and weight distribution, making it ideal for players who want to maintain their preferred grip feel while gaining extra striking distance and momentum.

The Vater legacy began long before the company’s official establishment in November 1991, with the family crafting custom drumsticks in the basement of Boston’s legendary Jack’s Drum Shop decades earlier. From these humble beginnings, Vater has grown into a respected manufacturer operating from their Holbrook, Massachusetts headquarters, developing hundreds of different models that cater to diverse playing styles and preferences.

Today, Vater’s commitment to excellence has attracted world-renowned artists including Chad Smith, Stewart Copeland, and Josh Freeze to their roster. The company maintains a straightforward mission: to produce the finest drumsticks and percussion accessories available globally, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing techniques to serve drummers at every level.
