Vater 7AN Manhattan Nylon Tip
For drummers who favour finesse without sacrificing reach, the Vater 7AN Manhattan Nylon Tip drumsticks strike a compelling balance between light feel and extended length. Crafted from select American hickory, these sticks embody the perfect fusion of durability and playability, offering a familiar 7A grip with just that little extra length to dance across a wider kit setup.
The Manhattan 7ANs are a go-to choice for players who demand precision in every stroke—be it in jazz, pop, acoustic sessions, or worship settings. Their small teardrop-shaped nylon tips are expertly engineered to provide clear, articulate cymbal tones with a bright, crisp shimmer that cuts cleanly through the mix. The added length not only gives you more reach but also subtly shifts the balance point for a livelier rebound and enhanced control.
Whether you're brushing through intricate ride work or weaving tasteful ghost notes into a groove, these sticks offer an elegant response and nuanced touch. And if you've ever found a regular 7A just a tad too short for your style, the Manhattan 7ANs may very well be your new favourite pair.
Musicmaker is proud to offer these precision tools to our community of passionate drummers—because we know the stick in your hand makes all the difference.
