Vater VHELW American Hickory Excel Drumsticks

American Hickory Fusion Acorn Wood Tip Drumsticks. Shorter stick with a barrel-shaped tip and quick taper. Great for getting around the kit quickly. Hickory can also absorb a great amount of shock, which reduces hand and wrist fatigue. Dark, or "brown" hickory, is found closer to the tree's center and is slightly denser and heavier than "white" hickory.
