About the wood, the tip and the maker

MapleMaterial

The lightest of the big three woods. A thick maple stick still feels light, which suits fast, intricate playing and quiet gigs. The trade-off is that it wears out sooner.

BarrelTip shape

Close to a cylinder, with a broad contact area. Cymbals give you thickness ahead of definition, and drums are easy to drive. Common on power-oriented models.

VaterBrand

A family-run maker in Holbrook, Massachusetts. It traces back to a Boston drum shop and launched as its own brand in 1991. Notable for how deep the model range runs.
