Vater Stickmate Tambourine

Meet the Vater StickMate Tambourine—a clever, compact solution for drummers and percussionists who want to inject a splash of shimmer into their grooves without ever letting go of their sticks.

Designed to slip directly onto your drumsticks or mallets, the StickMate transforms your playing into a rhythmic blend of stick and tambourine sounds.

Made with Vater’s trademark attention to durability and fit, the StickMate is lightweight but robust, designed to stay snug during performance while withstanding regular use. It’s especially handy for players who need to multitask—keeping the beat steady while layering in those tasty percussive flourishes.
