Vater Session Wood Tip

When the gig calls for touch, tone, and total control, the Vater Session Wood Tip drumsticks step confidently into the spotlight. These sticks are purpose-built for players who want that golden middle ground—something not too heavy, not too light, but just right for expressive playing across a wide range of genres.

With the familiar comfort of a 5A-style profile, the Session series measures in at 16" with a 0.570" diameter—ideal for players who appreciate finesse without sacrificing punch. The taper and weight distribution have been carefully dialled in to give you quick rebounds and effortless dynamic control, whether you're brushing through ballads or digging into tight funk grooves.

The small acorn-shaped wood tip is where the tone really shines. Designed for clarity and warmth, it brings out a rich, rounded attack from cymbals and drumheads alike. Perfect for studio players, jazz stylists, or anyone who needs their playing to speak with articulation and subtlety.

These sticks are made from American hickory—long praised for its durability and natural shock-absorbing qualities. That means fewer vibrations in the hands, less fatigue, and more time focusing on what really matters: the music.

Here at Musicmaker, the Session sticks have earned their place on many a regular’s stick bag shortlist. They’re versatile, reliable, and responsive—everything a working drummer could ask for.
