Vater Virgil Donati Assault
The Vater Virgil Donati Assault Drumsticks are built to deliver serious power, speed, and precision—just like the legendary drummer they’re named after. Designed in collaboration with Virgil Donati, these sticks are made for players who demand intensity and articulation without compromising control.
Crafted from select hickory, they’re tough, balanced, and responsive under heavy playing. The Assault model has a unique barrel-shaped wood tip that produces a focused, punchy attack on drums while delivering crisp, articulate definition on cymbals. Perfect for fast, technical playing, they excel in rock, fusion, prog, and any style where dynamics and clarity are essential.
The profile strikes a clever balance: not too heavy, not too light, with a slightly shorter taper that shifts more weight to the front of the stick. This gives extra power and projection without sacrificing speed, making it ideal for intricate stickings and high-energy grooves.
Durable, versatile, and unmistakably designed for precision, the Vater Assault sticks are a reflection of Virgil Donati’s world-class style—sticks that keep up with the fastest hands in the business.
At Musicmaker, we love gear that inspires players to push boundaries, and these sticks do exactly that—perfect for drummers chasing next-level performance.
