Vater Sugar Maple Blazer Wood Tip

If you’re the kind of drummer who values finesse just as much as fire, the Vater Sugar Maple Blazer Wood Tip might be your next go-to stick. Made from lighter-weight sugar maple, these sticks deliver speed, agility, and smooth rebound without wearing out your hands—and they do it all with a sound that’s full of warmth and clarity.

The Blazer is designed for players who like a stick that moves fast and feels responsive, especially in tighter musical situations where nuance matters. Measuring in at 16.25 inches (41.27 cm), it’s a touch longer than standard, which gives it added reach and whip for quick cymbal work and expressive strokes across the kit. The diameter clocks in at 0.610 inches (1.55 cm), sitting right between a 5A and 5B, offering just the right amount of heft for power, without slowing you down.

Topped with a traditional acorn-shaped wood tip, the Blazer delivers crisp cymbal definition and round, musical tones on toms and snares. The sugar maple construction brings that signature soft feel under the hands while enhancing your dynamics—especially useful in genres like jazz, worship, theatre pit work, or any acoustic setting where control is king.

If you’re after a stick that gives you that light-on-your-feet feel while still packing tonal punch, the Sugar Maple Blazer is your ticket. At Musicmaker, we love gear that lets your playing breathe—and these sticks do just that.
