Join us in welcoming to the family!

“Joining the Vater family means so much to me. I grew up playing these sticks and brushes, so to join such a legendary lineup of players feels surreal! I love using the 55AAs-the weight distribution matches the length of the stick perfectly and feels so natural in my hands. Whether I’m looking to lay into the snare or lightly bounce off the ride, these sticks are ready for it all!”
- Lily “LJ” Joyce

The Cymbal Stick models, which were originally designed and hand-turned in the mid-1950s by Jack Adams (Alan & Ron Vater's grandfather), have been recreated. These Maple models feature the same distinct tip shapes (Acorn, Ball, Oval & Teadrop) and specifications that gave drummers of the great jazz and big band era that unforgettable cymbal sound.

Same as the originals did decades earlier, each of these four models gives its own unique voice on cymbals.

Another new addition to our “Monster Brush” product offerings. With the Monster Whisk, we leave the thicker, straighter, stronger side of Sorghum Straw as the playing end so that it provides a soft but still articulate sound with durability. Bundled at close to an inch in diameter for a “Monster” grip, the Monster Whisk is a great-sounding specialty stick that can be widely used on drum set as well as a variety of world percussion instruments like cajon, congas, etc. Includes adjustable O-Rings to adjust the spread.

Welcoming .teddy of to the Family!

“My Vater 5B sticks do such a great job and feel like an extension of my hands. I am able to hit the drums with confidence as they allow me to hit hard without breaking upon impact. As hard as I hit, that means a great deal.” - Teddy Aitkins [Foxy Shazam]

As we welcome in 2026, we also welcome Mason Cassar to the Vater Drumsticks family!
Playing for The Rills and Sophie Griffiths, Mason relies on the Jay Weinberg 908 and West Side.
" I started playing the Power 5A in Uni and the longer reach and feel of these sticks really helped me develop my own technique and presence on the drums. When you find a pair of sticks that click, nothing holds you back creatively - it’s an extension of your own arms and brain! I’m now digging the West Sides and the Jay Weinberg’s in the rotation and I’m flying round the kit with some serious power."

The Vater BeBops are smaller grip-sized models that are perfect for lower volume or Jazz settings. The 500 and 525 models come in under a 7A in the grip. The quick taper produces a fast rebound with a small tip size for a clean ride cymbal tone.

All three models are 16" long and available in Hickory and Maple. Maple options will offer even more of a lighter touch and slightly warmer cymbal tone.

"My stick is the Sugar Maple Sweet Ride, very light for effortless movement around the kit with superb definition on the cymbals. Really, the best option for Jazz fusion and rock!"
- .vassilopoulos

A touch under a 7A in diameter, the Sugar Maple sweet Ride has an extra small round tip that provides outstanding clarity on ride cymbals. Great for jazz drummers. Also available in a hickory version.

Length 16" | 40.64cm
Grip 0.530" | 1.35cm
