Vater Wiretap Retractable Heavy Brush
£34.49
The Vater Wiretap Retractable Heavy Brush is a rugged, versatile tool designed for drummers who need the full texture and volume of wire brushes combined with the convenience of a retractable design and protective wiretap surface.
This brush features heavy-gauge retractable wires and a bulkier rubber grip, delivering a fuller, louder swish than standard wire brushes while maintaining the classic brush feel. The signature Wiretap hard surface just behind the spread protects both the wires and drumheads, offering a more solid striking sound.
