Description


Responsive Ride Definition – The Vater American Hickory Jazz Ride Drumsticks with Wood Tip

Slightly over a 5A in the grip. Long taper to a small teardrop tip for a great ride cymbal sound, response and definition.


  • Small teardrop tip for defined ride cymbal articulation
  • Long taper provides excellent response and control
  • Slightly thicker than a standard 5A for added body


"Jazz Ride sticks give me the combination of a light stick and stick full of body. I can swing easily and go right into a funk or rock groove without having to switch sticks. I've been playing Vater since 1993 and it's been apart of my musical journey." – Jay Williams [Jonathan Butler]

"My relationship with Vater goes back to 1993. In fact I still have Alan’s type written endorsement offer letter! I have never found a better made or better feeling stick, and Vater makes a stick for virtually every situation. They’re also the very best people in the business and I love them all like family. Vater is the greatest." – Jim Mola [Drummers Collective]
