"Vater is certainly my first love and has been since I first used the 1A drumstick as a teenager. I’ve always wondered why my hands & calluses would burn when I play, only to realize it happens when I was using a stick that WASN’T produced in Vater’s factory. As I grow in my career I am always looking into what’s best for my health. Aside from being the most comfortable drumstick for me to use, Vater absolutely nails it every time with the feel between your sticks & hands. "The last thing I’d like to add is the consistency of production that you get with Vater is amazing, which just completely seals the deal for me. Great feel & consistency are 2 things that I look for when it comes to what I prefer. Vater is IT!" - @haze_amaze_ The Vater Matrix measures out as a 5A in the grip with a gradual taper to a small barrel tip for extreme cymbal clarity. A very quick feeling stick that is great stick for Jazz, Funk and R&B drumming. Length 16 1/8" | 40.96cm Grip 0.570" | 1.45cm #VaterDrumsticks #VaterMatrix
