## Description

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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ much better feedback then a wood tip sticks
*by D***D on September 18, 2024*

When i bought my drumset i decided not to use what came with set (one piece of wood and usually not a high quality) i found these sticks and i am happy i bough them. the nylon tip acts differently than a wood one. it is like you feel the stick better when you drum.
