Vater Beantown Brushes

The Classic Beantown Brush

Inspired by vintage designs, The Vater VWTB brushes pay homage to classic styles from decades past. Unearthed from Jack Adams’ collection—Alan Vater’s grandfather and a jazz and big band drummer who ran Jack’s Drum Shop in Boston—they were custom-made for Jack himself. Featuring a .530” grip for a lighter, more responsive feel and thinner gauge wires, these brushes offer increased flexibility and a soft, authentic swish sound. The reddish-brown rubber grip honors both the vintage brush tradition and Boston’s “Beantown” heritage, where Vater’s drumstick craftsmanship began.
