Vater 5B Wood Tip VH5BW

American Hickory: The Modell 5B is made from North American hickory wood. Hickory is denser, harder and heavier than maple, while also being more elastic than oak. The wood absorbs a large part of the vibration energy on impact, combining this property with a resilient construction. Dimensions: The drumsticks are 16 inch / 40.64 cm long and have a diameter of 0.605 inch / 1.54 cm. The stated dimensions identify the 5B model and clearly indicate the diameter and overall length of the stick. Acorn-shaped wood tip: The tip is made of wood and has an acorn shape. The tip shape is a key design feature of the model and determines the shape of the contact area when playing. Balanced design: The 5B model is described as a balanced, versatile stick. The construction combines the stated diameter with an acorn-shaped tip and the design of the American Hickory material. Computer-controlled manufacturing: The drumsticks are turned on computer-controlled lathes and precisely ground. Weight, tone colour/frequency and balance are then analysed before correspondingly matched pairs are put together.
