VaterClassics Series Sugar Maple Drum Sticks Big Band Wood
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Vater’s Classics Series Sugar Maple Big Band Wood sticks revisit an early Vater design through a classic lathe-turned profile. The sugar maple build is lighter than its hickory counterparts and is balanced for a responsive, dynamic feel. An acorn tip is designed to give drums a full sound, while the maple construction produces softer cymbal tones than the hickory versions. Select this model when the Big Band designation and wood-tip format match your preferred stick configuration.
