Description

The Vater 5B American Hickory Drumsticks with Acorn Nylon Tip are built for drummers who need extra power and projection without sacrificing balance and control. Made from durable American hickory, these sticks offer outstanding strength, shock absorption, and longevity—perfect for high-volume, high-energy playing.

With a thicker 5B diameter and a classic acorn-shaped nylon tip, these sticks deliver bright, defined cymbal articulation alongside full, punchy drum tones. The medium taper ensures a smooth rebound and responsive feel, making this model ideal for rock, funk, pop, and other hard-hitting genres.
