with her trusty Keg 5A's.

Same dimensions as our Los Angeles 5A but with a keg/barrel-shaped tip for a defined cymbal articulation.

Length 16" | 40.64cm
Grip 0.570" | 1.45cm

“The shortened strike faces of the keg tips gave cymbal hits significantly more definition than the acorn tips I compared them to, and they also seemed to open up my toms, allowing extra low-end presence. I found both the 5A and 5B Kegs to be most at home in medium volume situations where lower dynamics could benefit from the boosted mids and lows.”

The Vater 9A measures comfortably in between a 5A and 5B in the grip and features a smaller-sized barrel tip for great cymbal clarity and focused drum tones. The short taper gives it a quick feel and rebound. The 9A is available in both Hickory and Sugar Maple.

The Hickory version is the right choice for live and harder-hitting performance settings, while the Sugar Maple version is perfect for more laid-back, subtle playing styles, as well as orchestral and lesson room-type settings.

Big brother to the hugely popular Vater 8A.

The Fusion Acorn is the same design as the classic Vater Fusion but with an acorn tip for a warmer cymbal and drum tone.

"Vater nailed it when they designed the "Fusion Acorn" model. It has all the technical aspects you need when playing drums - length, strength, balance, durability and playability. But most importantly, it feels good in your hands which makes your drumming more inspiring and creative. Don't walk... RUN to your nearest drum shop and get a pair of these!!!"

Discover the Vater 3A Range

At Vater we continually evaluate, refine, and improve our manufacturing process and capabilities while staying true to the fine art of woodturning. A production process that combines traditional lathes with technology, and automation. Factors that matter to the final product are a must to keep in sight, every day for every stick we make. Details include a higher moisture content for striking tools in our raw material for durability, a precise formulation for our classic feeling finish, constant inspections for quality assurance, hand-rolling each stick twice for straightness, and pitch/weight paired by computer analysis. This is true for our range of 3A's.

The Fatback 3A's have been a staple of our range and have been the stick of choice of many drummers and some of our top artists. With a shorter taper than a 5A, the Fatback 3A's offer a bit more power and volume. For punchier, high-volume gigs look at its bigger brother the Power 3A. Want something lighter? That's where the 3A Lite comes in. Check them out at your local Vater dealer and

"The Stickmates have a natural balanced feel on the stick and sound great. I love the quick on and off of the handle extension….very cool design."

The Matrix measures out as a 5A in the grip with a gradual taper to a small barrel tip for extreme cymbal clarity. A very quick-feeling stick that is great stick for Jazz, Funk and R&B drumming.

"I've used to struggle with finding the right size for me until I found the Matrix model of Vater's sticks. It's the Perfect length, perfect weight distribution, and perfect barrel tip. I personally feel like this stick was made for me and I've been using them ever since."
