Vater crafts their drumsticks from only the finest American Hickory and Maple available. Vater is extremely picky about the moisture content of their dowels. Too much moisture produces a stick that feels \"rubbery\" and that will warp quickly. Too little moisture will produce a stick that is very brittle and will break easily. Vater manufactures drumsticks from dowels that measure a particular percentage, making a stick that is very durable and will remain straighter longer. Other drumstick manufacturers opt to use dowels that measure at a lower moisture content because it will yield them a higher percentage of straight sticks from a production run, thus sacrificing quality and durability. There's an old saying that Vater has adopted in their drumstick making: \"Quality not quantity\". Los Angeles 5A Nylon Very well balanced stick. Heavier toward the tip for fast attack and response on drums.
