Vater 5A Wood Tip VH5AW

American Hickory: The 5A Los Angeles is made from North American hickory wood. The wood is denser, harder and heavier than maple, while also being more elastic than oak. Thanks to its properties, hickory absorbs a large part of the vibration energy on impact. Dimensions: The model has a length of 16 inch / 40.64 cm and a diameter of 0.570 inch / 1.45 cm. This means the drumstick matches the stated dimensions of the 5A Los Angeles and combines these with the American Hickory construction. Oval wood tip: The tip of the drumstick is made of wood and has an oval shape. The shape of the tip is one of the characteristic design features of this model and complements the design of the 5A Los Angeles. Balance and rebound: The stick is evenly balanced and has a slight weight shift towards the tip. This combines good rebound with the balance specified for this model. Precise tuning: Manufacturing is computer-controlled through turning and precise grinding. A computer system checks weight, timbre or frequency and balance before matching sticks are paired up.
