Vater Vinnie Colaiuta Drumstick

The Vater Vinnie Colaiuta Drumstick – as one of the most revered and in-demand drummers of our lifetime, Vinnie Colaiuta’s hands were missing a drumstick that could cover all the bases for him both physically and musically.

Working closely with the Vater craftsmen, even spending time on the Vater factory floor himself, Vinnie used various prototypes live, in the studio, and on the pad – paying keen attention to what worked and what didn’t work for him with each.

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.
