Vater VHT7AW American Hickory Traditional 7A Trommestikker

American Hickory Traditional 7A Wood Tip Drumsticks. Dubbed “traditional” because Vater’s 7A is longer and has a different tip shape than standard 7A’s in the industry. This classic style 7A has a great feel for lighter playing. The small acorn tip delivers full cymbal and drum sounds without being overbearing.. Hickory is the most popular wood used for making drumsticks. Hickory is denser, heavier and more rigid than Maple. Hickory can also absorb a great amount of shock, which reduces hand and wrist fatigue. Dark, or "brown" hickory, is found closer to the tree's center and is slightly denser and heavier than "white" hickory.
