About this item

  • Hickory
  • 16" Long

The Vater brand was officially established in November of 1991, but the Vater family history with drumsticks started decades earlier, in the basement of Boston's legendary Jack's Drum Shop. There, Alan and Ron's grandfather Jack Adams, hand turned drumsticks for the drummers like Buddy Rich as early as 1956. In the early to mid 1980's, the Vater brothers began producing private-label drumsticks alongside sticks for Vic Firth and Zildjian. A few years of this led to the brothers deciding to move their business to a new factory in Holbrook MA. Over the past decade, the Vater family and product line has expanded greatly, introducing innovative products such as the Splash Stick and Acoustic, and welcoming renowned drummers like Chad Smith, Stewart Copeland, and Josh Freeze. At Vater, our goal is simple. . . to produce the very best drumsticks and percussion accessories in the world.

Ordered one pair to try them out and one stick was badly warped. I ordered again and on the second order both sticks were badly warped. Poor quality control from this manufacturer and will not order again.

One stick was slightly warped which I wouldn’t have selected if I were in a shop.

My sticks were very crooked and completely unusable. I contacted the company three times for a replacement pair. Each time I received a reply that promised they would send me the replacement asap. To this day, 15 months later I still have not received them. Ridiculous. Lost my money but luckily it's not that much. But it is the principle....do your quality control Vater and improve your customer service. Sticking with Latin Percussion...never had a crooked or defective stick from them. Stay away from Vater.

A favorite of mine, I 've ordered them before. Finish was a little rough on this set, but quickly and easily remedied with 400-grit sandpaper and, to be fair, was probably a rare occurrence.
