VaterAmerican Hickory West Side Drum Sticks Wood
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Vater’s West Side wood-tip sticks start with American hickory dowels chosen for moisture content, straightness, and grain structure. The hickory is dense and strong, with resistance to chipping and breaking, and it absorbs shock to help lessen wrist and hand fatigue while playing. Tone and weight are matched by computer analysis for consistency. These sticks are manufactured in the United States.
