The Classic Feel, Redefined: The Vater Sugar Maple 5A

Discover your favorite stick in a new light. The Vater Sugar Maple 5A offers the universally loved, perfectly balanced profile of the classic 5A, but is crafted from Sugar Maple wood. This makes the stick noticeably lighter than its hickory counterpart, providing a faster, more responsive, and delicate feel. The maple construction also imparts a brighter, sweeter tonality on cymbals and drums.
