Vater VH8AW American Hickory 8A Drumsticks

American Hickory 8A Wood Tip Drumsticks. Small barrel-shaped tip for defined cymbal articulation. Very responsive. 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.
