Vater VMSD9W Maple SD9 Wood Drum Sticks

Main Features

• Sugar Maple
• Lighter weight from a bigger stick
• Oval tip
• Fast playing stick
• Mature, sweet tone

The Vater Maple SD9 is a light weight, fast playing stick with a larger grip size.


Sugar Maple brings out a mature, sweet voice from drums and cymbals. Maple can provide the feel of a big stick without the extra weight of a hickory stick.

Many of Vater's popular Hickory models are also offered in Maple for players who prefer a certain profile but desire the tone / volume changes that only Sugar Maple can provide.

The Vater SD9 is just over a 5B in the grip with an oval tip, making it a fast playing stick that is great for Jazz.
