Trommestikker Vater Player's Design Vinnie Colaiuta VHVCW, Hickory, Wood TipVater is honored to officially announce Vinnie Colaiuta as a Vater Drumstick Artist and launch the new signature Vinnie Colaiuta model. This is the stick Ive always wanted, and now I finally have it! It has been a long time coming but well worth the wait; every second." - Vinnie Colaiuta As one of the most revered and in-demand drummers of our lifetime, Vinnie Colaiutas hands were missing a drumstick that could cover all the bases for him both physically and musically. Working closely with the Vater craftsmen, even spending time on the Vater factory floor himself, Vinnie used various prototypes live, in the studio, and on the pad - paying keen attention to what worked and what didnt work for him with each. This evaluation process turned into fine-tuning specific key elements until landing on this final design, which simply putis the one! The grip size starts at .590 with a very subtle flare out to .600, then quickly back to .590 for a comfortable grip to a precisely calibrated taper for a great rebound, then finished off with a medium-sized acorn tip for a full but defined sound. This spec combination and a touch shorter length deliver a lathe-turned drumstick model that effortlessly covers the wide spectrum of music that Vinnie plays from jazz to heavy rock, and everything in between - while never letting him down in consistency, feel, sound, and durability. "I remember visiting Jacks Drum Shop in Boston when I was a student at Berklee, and that is where Vater all really startedin the basement of Jacks. Now look at what happened! At one point I was using sticks under a different brand that Vater was making for them and, quite frankly, I was always impressed with Vaters wood. They have the best wood in my opinion, and in the opinion of many others as well. The Vater craftsmen are so diligent and detailed, and I love the lathe-turned sticks. I even went to the Vater factory and stood there at the lathe while modifications were made right before my eyes. Youll notice a very familiar 15 15/16 length on the stick. We sought to take something that people loved years ago, myself included, but make it even better - and we succeeded! I can feel the history, very personally, and it all comes full circle. Bravo to Vater and the whole team! Vinnie Colaiuta

Trommestikker Freer Percussion SINF, Light Orchestral HornwoodFREER LIGHT ORCHESTRAL HORNWOOD SIGNATURE MODEL SINFHornwood Models, Snare Drum SticksDESCRIPTION Freer Light Orchestral Hornwood Signature Model The Hornwood light orchestral retains its shape from the tip back however I have deliberately chosen to eliminate the taper in the back. This increases the back weight feel of the stick just enough to help it rebound quicker which you can really feel in playing doubles such as 4 stroke ruffs in Lt. Kije and 7s in Scheherezade. By making this model out of Hornwood Im also able to increase the weight of the stick without increasing size and bulk. Our Hornwood is very dense and hard and adds a couple grams of weight as well. The feel is something like rosewood or ebony but without the excessive vibration and low pitch that come with those woods. It is also extremely durable and will likely last you a lifetime if cared for properly. I feel this is the absolute best version of this stick I have come up with to date. Really a perfect stick for ANY soft playing that requires clarity.

Trommestikker Vater Player's Design Mike Mangini Wicked Piston, VHMMWP, Hickory, Wood TipVater Mike Mangini Wicked Piston DrumstickDream Theater's Mike Mangini worked closely with Vater Percussion to develop a uniquely designed drumstick. In Vater's American Hickory line, the new Mike Mangini Wicked Piston model (VHMMWP) starts out at .580" (1.47cm) in the grip and increases slightly towards the middle of the stick until it reaches .620" (1.57cm) in diameter and then tapers back down to an acorn tip. Mike's reason for this design is so that the stick has a slightly added front weight for a solid, consistent "throw" and transient sound. With the extra length, the player can adjust how much front weight is implemented by slightly moving their fulcrum point up or down on the stick. It also produces a fat sounding rim-shot crack from the added front weighted taper.

Features a medium sized and slightly rounded acorn tip that delivers cymbal clarity and enough punch to cut through in louder music situationsVater ClassicsThese profiles and sizes have been some of the core models in the drumstick world since the birth of the trap set. Jack Adams [Alan & Ron Vaters Grandfather] even hand-turned some of these drumstick profiles at Jacks Drum Shop in Boston back in the 1950s and 60s. Fast forward to the 1980s, before the Vater brand was launched, the Vater Family found themselves lathe turning these same stick designs for their biggest customer who happens to now be one of our direct competitors. Were revisiting some Vater History with the launch of Vater Classics. 6 core models lathe turned to their classic specs and profiles, just like we made back in our barn in the 1980s. Try them out for yourself and see why that major competitor himself once called them the finest hickory drum sticks in the world! in a hand-written letter to the Vater Family which hangs on our wall to this day.
