Vater
Product Description
Vater's traditional Timbale sticks are available in both Hickory and Maple in 3 standard diameters. Also check out Karl Perazzo, Richie Garcia and Tito De Gracia's Player's Design Timbale models.
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.
