16-3/4-inch length
The added length is intended to provide extra reach around the kit.

Independent shopping perspective
The Vater Stretch 5A takes a classic 5A format and extends the length to 16-3/4 inches for extra reach around the drum kit. Hickory construction and a small acorn tip shape the playing experience, with the tip specified for warm cymbal tones. At 0.540 inches in diameter, it gives drummers a clearly defined Stretch 5A size rather than a vague extended-stick option.
