Vater Vhws West Side

Product Description

The West Side is a real unique sounding stick. The grip size measures comfortably in-between a 5A and 5B. The small rounded oval style tip blends right into the neck and taper of the stick for a unique feel and sound dynamic. American Hickory dowels have to meet very strict quality characteristics to be made into a Vater drumstick. Vater's Hickory is stress released which is done by slowly raising the temperature at the end of the drying cycle for 8 hours. This relieves the stress in the wood and produces straight sticks that stay straight.
