Description

The Vater Long 5B American Hickory Drumsticks with Acorn Wood Tip provide drummers with the classic power and durability of a 5B stick combined with the added reach and leverage of an extended length. Made from premium American hickory, these sticks are designed to withstand intense playing while offering balanced feel and control.

Featuring a traditional acorn-shaped wood tip, the Long 5B produces warm, full-bodied tones on drums and cymbals. The longer length gives drummers greater reach and dynamic range without sacrificing the familiar grip and response of a standard 5B. A medium taper ensures smooth rebound, making these sticks perfect for rock, pop, funk, and other high-energy styles.
