Description

The Vater Extended Play 5B Hickory Drumsticks with Oval Wood Tip provide drummers with the familiar power and feel of a classic 5B, enhanced by an extended length for greater reach and dynamic control. Crafted from premium American hickory, these sticks deliver durability and a comfortable, balanced response suitable for a wide range of musical styles.

Designed for heavy hitters, the Extended Play 5B sticks feature increased durability in the tip and shoulder area, reinforced with a special silver finish around the top of the stick that protects against early chips and cracks. These sticks are also guaranteed against breakage in the rim shot area caused by wear and tear, making them exceptionally long-lasting and reliable.

Featuring an oval-shaped wood tip, the Extended Play 5B produces warm, full-bodied tones on drums and cymbals. The longer length offers added leverage for powerful playing while maintaining excellent control and rebound, making them ideal for rock, pop, and fusion drummers.
