Vater Splash Stick Heavy

Sticks come in a whole range of materials and sizes but sometimes you need a subtle, tighter tone that a standard stick cant quite get. This is when you should turn to a Vater Splash Stick.

By binding 19 thin rods together Vater have created a vintage, neat sounding stick that's quieter than a traditional wooden stick with a lot of character. This is a  thicker version of the popular Splashstick for extra weight and durability for the heavier players.

Here's what Vater have to say about the Splash stick

19 hand-selected Birch dowels that provide warm acoustic tonality but still produce a solid "crack" around the drumkit. The extended rubber grip leaves 4" of the dowels exposed and gives a solid stick-like feel with excellent durability in the rimshot area.

The Vater brand was officially established in November of 1991, but the Vater family history with drumsticks started decades earlier, in the basement of Boston's legendary Jack's Drum Shop. There, Alan and Ron's grandfather Jack Adams, hand turned drumsticks for the drummers like Buddy Rich as early as 1956. In the early to mid 1980's, the Vater brothers began producing private-label drumsticks alongside sticks for Vic Firth and Zildjian. A few years of this led to the brothers deciding to move their business to a new factory in Holbrook MA. Over the past decade, the Vater family and product line has expanded greatly, introducing innovative products such as the Splash Stick and Acoustic, and welcoming renowned drummers like Chad Smith, Stewart Copeland, and Josh Freeze. At Vater, our goal is simple...to produce the very best drumsticks and percussion accessories in the world.
