Vater
Designed by master Italian drummer Furio Chirico, the Passional is slightly bigger than a 5B with an acorn style tip. The gentle taper combined with the 16 1/4
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.
