Computer tone and weight matching
Vater uses computer analysis to match the sticks' tone and weight.

Independent shopping perspective
Vater Hammer drum sticks use American hickory, a dense, strong wood chosen for resistance to chipping and breaking. Its shock-absorbing character is intended to reduce wrist and hand fatigue while playing. Vater selects dowels for moisture content, straightness, and grain structure, then uses computer analysis to match tone and weight. This is the wood version, made in the United States.
