Hickory is the most popular wood used to make drumsticks. Hickory is more dense, heavier and harder than Maple as studies have shown meaning Hickory can absorb a lot of the vibration and thereby reduce the fatigue of the hands and more importantly, the wrists. “Dark” Hickory (or “Brown” Hickory), comes from the center of the tree and is somewhat more dense and heavier than “White” Hickory.

The Vater brothers made their drumstick manufacturing a full time endeavor in the mid 1980’s. They were soon working with leading brands in the industry, producing drumsticks for Pearl, Tama, countless drum shops across the USA and so on. It was at that time that Vic Firth himself asked the Vater family to manufacture hickory drumsticks for his own brand.
Ron and Alan worked closely with Vic, side by side, at their factory designing many of Vic Firth’s models that still exist in the market today. That then lead to the design and manufacturing of Zildjian drumsticks and many others brands, until the proper Vater brand was launched in 1991.
While the family continued to manufacture for others, as they still do today, the Vater brand became their main focus.
