Vater 5A Sugar Maple, Wood tip. Vater Sugar Maple Drumsticks feature a small round tip for highly defined and clean cymbal tones. Very well balanced stick - great for jazz or lighter playing. Vater's sugar maple sticks bring out a mature, sweet voice from drums and cymbals and can provide the feel of a big stick without the extra weight of a hickory stick. Pretty cool, huh? • MFSKU VSM5AW • UPC 641652190017
