Vater Poly Brush

For drummers who want the expressive touch of brushes with a modern twist, the Vater Poly Brush delivers a versatile, flexible playing experience that’s equally at home in jazz clubs, acoustic gigs, or experimental sets. With a blend of traditional sweep and responsive attack, this brush is a brilliant option when sticks are too much and wire brushes aren’t quite enough.

Featuring adjustable nylon bristles, the Poly Brush gives you a wide range of tonal options. Extend them for a broad, soft wash across the snare or tuck them in for a tighter, punchier response—ideal for backbeat work or hybrid grooves. The synthetic fibres are smooth but snappy, creating warm, whispery textures that still carry definition when you dig in.

The handle is made from durable, lightweight plastic and designed for comfort. With just the right diameter and balance, it sits well in the hand, giving you full control whether you're gliding across the drumhead or locking into a tight groove. The construction is solid, gig-ready, and built to last—no wobbly mechanisms or flimsy moving parts here.

At Musicmaker, we often recommend the Poly Brush for drummers who want the finesse of a brush with the resilience of a rod. It’s especially useful for players navigating low-volume gigs, theatre pits, or creative studio sessions where subtle articulation is the name of the game.
