Vater 5B Hickory Drumsticks, Wood Tip (Pair) – VH5BW

The Vater 5B Wood (VH5BW) is a responsive, comfortable and well-balanced stick that gives you a bit more girth and power than a 5A, without feeling slow or heavy in the hand. With an acorn wood tip, it delivers a clear, full attack on drums and a smooth, controlled feel on cymbals—making it a versatile choice for everything from louder rock playing to more dynamic styles.

This is the standard wood tip 5B, and the model is also available in other Vater series/finishes (including Sugar Maple, Nude Series, Eternal Black, Color Wrap, and Extended Play).
