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. Review: Beautiful - Perfect stick if you want a long 7A... Playing it's easy with these sticks. Review: I have found my new stick - I was using Vic Firth extreme 5A Nylon for years. I tried these on a whim. I LOVE THEM!!! I have played with them now for three weeks. Barley any nicks or chips. The Vic's would have been replaced twice by now. Great Product Vater!!!! ## Features - Just under a traditional 5A but with a 1/2" extra length - A comfortable grip size and weight for low to mid volume situations - Barrel style tip gives this stick great playability - Gospel Series ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002RWKQY4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #16,755 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #216 in Drum Sticks | | Body Material | Wood | | Brand | Vater | | Brand Name | Vater | | Colour | wood | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 45 Reviews | | Finish Type | Varnished | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00641652494016 | | Included Components | Drumsticks | | Item Dimensions | 43.2 x 1.5 x 1.5 Centimeters | | Item Type Name | Mallets | | Item Weight | 0.2 Ounces | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 43.2 x 1.5 x 1.5 Centimeters | | Manufacturer | Vater | | Material | Wood | | Material Type | Wood | | Model Name | VGS5AWVATER | | Model Number | VGS5AW | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | VGS5AW | | Sound Profile | Balanced, versatile, low to mid volume | | UPC | 641652494016 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | No warranty | ## Product Details - **Colour:** wood - **Brand:** Vater - **Material:** Wood - **Model Name:** VGS5AWVATER - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 43.2 x 1.5 x 1.5 Centimeters ## Images ![Vater Percussion Gospel 5A Wood Tip - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61qsi+Igg8L.jpg) ![Vater Percussion Gospel 5A Wood Tip - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/517UCwGQtSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful *by C***D on 23 September 2021* Perfect stick if you want a long 7A...
