Vater Stick-Whip

Sometimes one stick just isn’t enough—unless it’s the Vater Stick-Whip. This clever hybrid combines the feel of a classic drumstick with the expressive flair of poly-bristle rods, all wrapped into a single, versatile tool. It’s built for players who love to blur the lines between groove and texture, precision and ambience.

Based on Vater’s popular Fusion stick profile, the Stick-Whip gives you that comfortable, slightly slim grip and balanced feel familiar to many players. At one end, you've got a traditional wood tip—perfect for tight ride articulation, crisp snare work, and punchy tom grooves. Flip it around, and you’ve got a 3.5-inch bundle of synthetic poly bristles extending from the butt, allowing for brush-like swishes, subtle accents, and layered percussive textures.

It’s perfect for low-volume acoustic gigs, jazz ensembles, singer-songwriter sets, or experimental styles where soundscaping is just as important as groove. The transition between tip and whip is seamless, giving you two distinct voices in one stick—no fumbling, no reaching for another implement mid-song.

Whether you’re rolling ghost notes into brush strokes, or snapping backbeats and following them up with a whisper, the Stick-Whip keeps your options wide open and your transitions buttery smooth.
