About this product
Vater Percussion presents the Classics Series 5A wood tip drumsticks, developed as a faithful reproduction of the brand's earliest physical stick profiles. Crafted from select, resilient hickory wood, these sticks feature a slightly reduced 0.565-inch diameter and a standard 16-inch length to offer a fast, balanced grip suitable for a wide range of musical styles from swing to rock. The balanced medium-tapered shaft distributes weight evenly to provide a natural physical rebound, while the acorn-shaped wood tips deliver a warm, full acoustic tone on cymbals and drumheads. Cataloged under manufacturer part number VHC5AW, this pair of lathe-turned sticks is finished with the original Vater Classics center logo for a vintage aesthetic on stage and in the studio.
Features
Authentic Historical Specs & Recreated Design
Recreates Vater’s earliest historical stick profiles, replicating the exact dimensions and physical specifications pioneered by the founders before the brand's global launch. This classic design provides players with a genuine retro playing feel, offering a natural, intuitive return to the early days of modern drumstick craftsmanship.
Select Hickory Wood Designed for Durability
Crafted from choice, dense American hickory wood to absorb high-impact vibrations and shock during performance. Sourcing select raw materials protects your hands from premature physical fatigue during long sessions, while the high structural density extends overall stick life and easily handles heavy rimshots.
Slimmer 5A Grip Sized for Faster Hand Control
Features a slightly reduced 5A grip profile measuring exactly 0.565 inches in diameter. This slim, lightweight design feels exceptional in the hand, offering a faster and more agile hold compared to standard heavier 5A sticks, helping players transition smoothly between fast fills and technical patterns.
Standard 16-Inch Length with Balanced Taper
Designed with a versatile 16.0-inch physical length to provide the ideal balance of reach and leverage across your entire drum kit. The symmetrical medium taper distributes weight evenly along the shaft of the stick, facilitating an effortless, predictable rebound off drumheads and cymbals.
Acorn Wood Tips for Warm and Full Acoustic Tone
Equipped with traditional wood acorn tips designed to draw a warm, full, and broadband acoustic tone out of both drums and cymbals. This versatile tip profile makes the sticks an ideal starting point for almost any playing style, transitioning seamlessly from subtle swing patterns to high-impact rock.
