Vater 5A Los Angeles are beefy enough for styles such as funk and light rock but are thin enough to cope with quieter, faster, and more sensitive styles namely jazz and musical theatre.
The tip is pointed, long, and thin which makes the ride cymbal in a jazz situation sound light and crisp, with sufficient definition. These sticks will always be my weapon of choice!
Any drummers who are looking for a stick for versatile playing - this is the one to go for! I always used to be a Vic Firth guy until I went to uni and started getting a discount on vater sticks. Since then I've only really used Vater, and not because of the price.
I prefer the feel of the stick, the length and the width are the same as a Vic Firth or Promark 5A but I find them slightly heavier, not much but just enough to make it feel like I'm hitting the drums with something that's not going to fall apart or fly out of my hand.
The sticks are always pretty much perfectly match, but sometimes pairs differ from each other, which is the only downside in my opinion. Read all reviews. Rohema 5A Speed Stick Hickory lacquer. Smart Navigator Vater 5A Drumsticks at a glance. Need help? Do you like what you're seeing?

Great for pop, rock and even heavier styles. Obviously a drummer's choice of sticks is a very personal thing, so what might suit one may not suit another, and any review is bound to be extremely subjective.
But here goes What I like about these sticks: 1. Additional length, as I've always preferred Bead tip and shorter taper gives the stick more power without it feeling heavy. I don't agree with some other reviews that say that this is a heavy stick.
It's not, in my opinion. As for sturdiness and its ability to hold up to heavy playing and lots of rimshots, I find the Vater 5A Power holds up well, even though the wood doesn't look or feel as solid as, say, Vic Firth's American Classics, and I find theor longevity as good as any other sticks from other manufacturers. I've knocked off one star for quality as they don't look particularly appealing out of the packet.
Does this matter? No, not really, they're good sticks. Report Do you believe this rating to be inaccurate or unacceptable for some reason? Please give us the reason for your assessment in the following text box and — if possible — your e-mail address for further questions.

It just needs a bit of getting used to, because there is also the big advantage that your hits will have more power with the weight distributed towards the shoulder of the stick.
PROS - sturdy and durable, can take a beating with very few scratches on them - the distribution of the weight towards the shoulder adds extra power and volume to your hits - perfect for rock and metal CONS - it's a matter of taste, but some drummers might not like the light butt and heavy shoulder I confess I prefer Vater because Josh Freese, my drumming idol, uses them.

Of course it is really individual thing, but they feel a bit light.
You could play jazz with them. But still, there is enaf power for rock stuff. I really like this feel, but again, it is individual thing. They boast an impressive artist roster, considering their company was formerly known for just making classical mallets. Their sticks are a little bit more expensive than all of the rest, but their quality stands up to the others. Meinl is also a well-known cymbal and percussion manufacturer who recently joined the stick market. These 5A models are American Hickory, but are apparently made in Germany where they make their cymbals also.
These are the only ones on this list that I have never personally played. There really is a big difference in the feel and bounce of electronic drums, and especially the cymbals. As I mentioned before, a smaller model, or at least a lighter model of what you use on an acoustic kit is really a wise option.
Electronic kits are expensive and can be harder to replace broken parts on. Be mindful of how hard you hit E-drums. Nylon will slightly add to that clicking volume if you hit a rim or even the cymbals, so I generally recommend using wood. The reality is, they are made of wood and will eventually chip and break. Sticks should last significantly longer when used strictly on electronic kits due to the decreased velocity used to play.
My top choice for the best drumsticks for electronic drums is a solid tie between the Promark 5A and the Vic Firth 5A. I have personally endorsed both brands and toured with both brands at different times in my career, and have been very impressed with quality control on both.
I switched from Vic to Promark about 8 years ago and have been very impressed with the sticks being pitch paired and staying in round. These two brands have been around the longest in the stick world and have the artists and experience to back up their names.
I suggest buying a few pairs if you like a model.
