Vater VHN7AW Nude Series 7A Wood Tip Drumstick

Drummers battling sweaty palms will find their perfect match in this unfinished Manhattan 7A stick, designed specifically to combat grip slippage during intense performances. The "Nude" finish eliminates the lacquer coating that can become slippery, giving you reliable control when you need it most. This extended 7A model features a small round tip that cuts through cymbal work with precision and clarity.

The Vater story began long before their official establishment in November 1991, with the family crafting custom drumsticks in the basement of Boston’s legendary Jack’s Drum Shop decades earlier. From those humble beginnings, they’ve grown into a Massachusetts–based company headquartered in Holbrook, now producing hundreds of different models that attract world–class artists including Chad Smith, Stewart Copeland, and Josh Freeze.

At Vater, the mission remains straightforward: create the finest drumsticks and percussion accessories available anywhere. Their commitment to quality and innovation has made them a trusted choice for professional drummers who demand reliability and performance from their gear.
