Vater Drumsticks VH1AW 1A American Hickory Series Acorn Wood Tip

American Hickory: The 1A Modell is made from North American hickory wood. Hickory is denser, harder and heavier than maple, while also being more elastic than oak. It absorbs a large part of the vibration energy on impact and is dried to a residual moisture of 10 to 12 percent. Dimensions: The 1A is 16.75 inch / 42.55 cm long and has a diameter of 0.590 inch / 1.50 cm. The extra length is one of the characteristic features of the model and complements the stated 5B grip diameter. Longer Stick: The model is designed as a longer stick and has a 5B grip. Through the combination of a length of 42.55 cm and a diameter of 1.50 cm, the 1A differs from the shorter standard models. Acorn-shaped wood tip: The tip is made of wood and has an acorn shape. The distinctive tip complements the longer stick and the 5B grip, and is part of the characteristic construction of the 1A. Precise manufacturing: The sticks are computer-controlled turned and precisely ground. A computer system analyses weight, timbre or frequency and balance. Only correspondingly matching sticks are put together as a pair.
