A Maple version of Vater's popular Super Jazz model for a lighter feel. Jazz Style grip, under a 5A, with a little extra length and long taper. Brings out a mature, sweet voice from drums and cymbals. Maple can provide the feel of a big stick without the extra weight of a hickory stick. Many of Vater’s popular Hickory models are also offered in Maple for players who prefer a certain profile but desire the tone / volume changes that only Sugar Maple can provide.
