Surprisingly durable
I mostly play hard rock and metal and I'm a somewhat heavy hitter. 5Bs and even 2Bs are my weapons of choice, and they don't usually last too long, although Vater have proved more resistant than others. Occasionally I do play something lighter, a balad or similar and like to switch to lighter sticks that allow for much softer dynamics. Other 7As have not fared well on those occasions with me, but I was completely impressed by these. I even started using them on heavier songs that required more finesse in playing and they held up heroically. I also really like the barrel head which gives off a great cymbal sound. They are thin (as 7As shpuld be), but they don't feel like toothpicks in my hands. I would definitely recommend these for great feel, durability and sound.

Love these! And great customer service from Vater
Very light drum sticks with circular head which I love for jazz and cymbal work. I buy these all the time. I almost never have them break during gigs - only slowly worn away after months and months of gigging.
One time I had a defective stick which broke on the first hit during a sound check - I contacted Vater to tell them and the next week they sent me 3 free pairs!

Perfect stick for ride work and light hihat sound
These are, toghether with Vater's Sweet Ride stick and Vic Firth Peter Erskine signature, my favourite drumsticks. The balance is better than all 5A, 5B and other brand 7A sticks I've ever tried, being a bit lower towards the base for center balance means that I can get a little bit more reach with them. They are quite light but breaks very seldom for me, much less that e.g. most Vic Firth or Zildjian sticks I've tried.
The finish on them is very natural and will not start to be sticky or gummed up with dirt over time, which has been my experience especially with Vic Firth. The top is almost round and quite small, giving a very sweet, not "clonky" ride sound with definition, but less overtones than I get with e.g a more teardrop shaped Vic Firth 7A. Hihat sound played with tip is defined and light as well.

Vater 7A Manhattan Sticks Wood
These have been my sticks of choice for a few years now. I mainly use them for Rock but they are so versatile that they can cover a whole range of styles.
They have a great weight, feel and balance to them and they feel comfortable in the hands. I also like the fact that they have the wooden ball tip which gives me a sound I like.
All in all, they are great sticks ... and my favourite.

Vater 7A Manhattan Sticks Wood
Drum sticks are so personal! These are one of my mainstays. You pick up what you need according to the music at any given time. These have a good strong jazz fusion feel, a comfortable length, enough weight for most styles. I tend to start off with these.

_THE_ versatile stick for the lighter drummer
Is just really my go to stick for all kind of music, and i actually ultimately require this stick for the very distinct rim shot sounds that just has that shout.

Lovely Drumstick
I bought these drum sticks for home use practicing and rehearsing. I prefer these sticks as they are quite slim and longer the other sticks I have previously used. I will be using these sticks from now on I imaging. They are great quality and I haven't had any trouble with them since I bought them.

Really great drumstick. So thin but still it balances it's weight perfectly. It doesn't feel too light at all.

D Best.
These sticks are the best iv ever come across! They feel like the perfect wait. not too heavy but not too light either. Can really fly around the kit with ease. if your technique is right, these sticks will last you a long time. The wooden ball tops give superb cymbal control. ALSO, these sticks are not same length as your average 7a, they are slightly longer.
