Vater VHSHW American Hickory Shedder Rumpukapulat

American Hickory Shedder Wood Tip Drumsticks. Designed in collaboration with Virgil Donati. Great for warm-up and practice of heavy rock playing. Large round barrel-shaped tip. Hickory is the most popular wood used for making drumsticks. Hickory is denser, heavier and more rigid than Maple. Hickory can also absorb a great amount of shock, which reduces hand and wrist fatigue. Dark, or "brown" hickory, is found closer to the tree's center and is slightly denser and heavier than "white" hickory.
