Vater Introduces Player's Design Drum Stick Models

November 11, 2008

Brian Frasier-Moore Model
This stick design comes from one of the most in demand drummers of today. Brian's stick design is just under a 5A in the grip but with some extra length for added reach. The gradual taper to the medium sized barrel tip makes it a nicely balanced and versatile stick.

Derek Roddy Model
Derek's model is in between a 5A and 5B in the grip. The stick features a really quick taper to a small acorn tip for warm but defined cymbal tones. A great stick for a variety of musical applications.

"My new Vater signature model drumstick gives me exactly what I need....Perfect size and feel....Not too big, not too small. Perfect balance.... Weighted just right at the tip and butt. Added length gives me that little extra reach. Perfect versatility...works well in quite, loud or any other situations I find myself playing in. Perfection! Perfect for me. Perfection? Could it be perfect for you?" - Derek Roddy

Mike Wengren Model
Designed by the multi-platinum drummer of the band Disturbed, Mike's stick measures in between a 5B and a 2B with a quick taper to an oval nylon tip. The extra length gives some added weight and a bit more reach. Nicely weighted and durable, this is a perfect stick for hard-hitting drumming. Stick is finished in a black stain with artwork featuring Disturbed's album logos.

VHMWN
L 17" D .625", (L 43.18cm D 1.59cm)
List Price: $14.99

"I've been playing Vater for my entire career. There simply isn't anyone else out there that crafts wood better than they do. My playing requires a lot of power, precision, and intensity. The added length and thickness combined with the beefier shoulder and shorter taper of my stick model was designed to help me do just that. It gives me that extra edge to push me to the limits of my performances night after night." - Mike Wengren (Disturbed)
