Vater Splashstick Traditional Jazz

For those moments when sticks are too much and brushes not quite enough, the Vater Splashstick Traditional Jazz comes into its own—an exquisite blend of tone, control, and texture, designed with the seasoned jazz player in mind.

Built from thin, high-quality birch dowels bundled together, these rods offer a natural woody attack and just the right amount of rebound for delicate ride work, snare comping, or whispered ghost notes. Whether you're in a smoky jazz lounge, an intimate acoustic set, or recording a vintage-feel ballad, the Splashstick Traditional Jazz provides that sweet spot between definition and subtlety.

The grip is wrapped for comfort and control, allowing for dynamic playing without slippage. They respond beautifully to low-volume playing, with a softer attack than sticks but more presence than brushes—perfect for when articulation needs to breathe without dominating the mix.

Where these rods really shine is in their ability to shape feel. You can dig in for more edge or lay back for buttery comping, all while keeping the tone warm and natural. Whether you're swinging a slow 3/4 or riding over a breezy samba, they give you expressive control across cymbals, drums, and even percussion instruments like cajón or frame drums.

At Musicmaker, we know that feel is everything—and the Vater Splashstick Traditional Jazz is all about feel. They're made for musicians who understand the value of space, touch, and taste.
