Vater Drumsticks VHHW Hammer American Hickory Series Butt End Wood Tip

American Hickory: The Hammer is made from North American hickory wood, a type of walnut. Hickory is denser, harder and heavier than maple, while also being more elastic than oak. The material absorbs a large part of the vibration energy on impact. Dimensions: The Hammer is 16 inch / 40.64 cm long and has a diameter of 0.570 inch / 1.45 cm. The diameter corresponds to the stated design of a 5A stick, combining this thickness with the Hammer's special construction. Without a Classic Tip: According to product data, the tip is specified as having no shape. The model corresponds to a 5A stick without a classic tip and instead has a double end. Double Butt End: Both ends of the mallet are rounded to the same thickness. This double-butt-end construction clearly distinguishes the stick from conventional models with a pronounced tip. Precise manufacturing: The hickory stick is computer-controlled turned and precisely ground. The wood is dried to a residual moisture content of 10 to 12 percent. Weight, timbre or frequency and balance are then analysed for pairing.
