Vater Los Angeles 5A Wood Tip Hickory Drum Sticks, 3 Pair (VS3P5AW)

My son plays drums and loves Vater sticks. I asked him what he likes so much about them- he said the only way he can describe it is “a great feel and weightiness.” Tip shape etc doesn’t matter much to him, and these sticks are equal in sturdiness to others he’s used, but he simply prefers these due to their great “feel”. Plus, Stewart Copeland prefers the brand- so enough said!

I just don't want pine drum sticks. Nice and smooth. Well balanced. Great price.

I like 5A sticks and usually went with the Vic Firth American Hickory 5As.That's a nice, classic pair but after the first hour of use I was constantly chipping pieces off the tips and thus blowing through sticks. I play rock and funk mostly, can go ape on the set from time to time so opportunities to chip / break are frequent. That is important to know for my review so if you are the same, you feel confident in trying them.Had a pair of Vader 7As when I was younger and liked them so figured I'd try my preferred stick size these days with Vater and got these. Awesome experience so far, maybe 4+ hours of use and there is not a single chip in either tip. Expected wear elsewhere on the stick, no signs of splintering, etc. Sticks are comfortable in hands, good weight... These will now be my go to pair.Check them out!

5A are really good for me

Might be a bit too light for some hands... depends on the user. These were a bit light for me, but great for my younger grandson. Try different ones... if it's work to drum, try a different weight or brand! I wish I'd tried different sticks long ago! Great sticks! I needed some a tad heavier, but for my grandson, he loves them!

The tips chip off fairly quick but overall a solid stick!

These sticks were part of a bundle that came with an Evans Practice pad. These sticks seem pretty good to me but I am a beginner. They feel comparable to more expensive brand name sticks that I have been able to try over at a friends house. Worth a try and definitely fine for a beginner.

I'm not too particular about my drumsticks when it comes to all the available models out there. Most of the artist series are just tweaks to the classic 5A or 7A, so I just stick to the basic sizes. The rock I play is pretty aggressive and the sticks hold up to the abuse, they'll likely whittle down from the cymbals strikes then they are to break from a forceful downstroke. Over the years I've tried other brands and models and I keep coming back to these. They just feel right to me.

The very best!

I’ve been playing Vater for a long time now, many different models within their range, mainly the fusion range but i stumbled across this bargain deal and it was too good not to pounce. These have now gained the top spot for me in ‘that perfect stick’ the weight, the feel, the response, everything is perfect for me!I pray that Amazon continue this great deal as it’ll now be my go to for where to get the multipack at such a great price!Thanks! 👍🏼

Great!😉 I just received my Vater Los Angeles 5A sticks this afternoon though it came without the stick pair holder but feels amazing and it’s definitely has a great attack precision and weight equality but for gigs not yet tested but will definitely give you feedback

Ottime bacchette! Le mie preferite in assoluto!Per anni ho usato le tanto decantate Vic Firth 5a ma negli ultimi tempi, si spezzavano all'improvviso anche col rischio di farmi male!Queste Vater hanno un legno molto compatto e privo di venature, rendendole molto più resistenti e durature.Insomma non ti abbandonano all'improvviso come le Vic Firt!Hanno poi un ottimo rimbalzo senza trasmettere vibrazioni alle mani.Danno impressione di solidità e sicurezza già solo prendendole in mano!!Sono leggermente più pesanti.. ma per me che suono musica pop... Non mi creano nessum problema con il controllo e l'affaticamento!!

Ça fait longtemps que j'utilise ces baguettes, plus de 15 ans...Pour moi ces baguettes correspondent à ce que je recherche : très bien équilibrées, bon grip, vernis de qualité, résistantes. J'ai de très bonne sensation avec, et surtout le plus important, la qualité est constante. Je les adore !
