Description

The Vater Chad Smith Funk Blaster Hickory Drumsticks with Acorn Wood Tip are designed in collaboration with the legendary Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, delivering the perfect balance of power, speed, and control for funk and groove-oriented playing. Crafted from premium American hickory, these sticks offer exceptional durability and a comfortable grip to handle aggressive grooves with finesse.

Featuring a classic acorn-shaped wood tip, the Funk Blaster produces warm, rich tones with clear articulation on drums and cymbals. The slightly larger diameter and medium taper provide enhanced power and rebound, making these sticks ideal for drummers who demand precision and punch in their playing.
