Vater kiln dries their sticks for a shorter period of time than their competitors. I tend to feel that my snare sounds are better when I use Vater sticks. The reason is that there's a bit more moisture in their sticks, which also helps with the durability.

Description

The Mike Johnston 2451 Drum Stick Has a New Name

The Vater 2451 Mike Johnston Drum Stick was an incredibly popular model. Mike pursued other opportunites with another stick company, and rather than discontinue this model, it's simply been re-named: The Vater 9A Hickory.

The 9A measures comfortably in between a 5A and 5B in the grip and features a smaller sized barrel tip for great cymbal clairty and focused drum tones. The short taper gives it a quick feel and rebound. The 9A is available in both Hickory and Sugar Maple. The Sugar Maple version is perfect for more laid back, subtle playing styles, as well as orchestral and lesson room type settings. The Hickory version is the right choice for live and harder hitting performance settings. Big brother to the hugely popular Vater 8A.
