Vater Splashstick Soft Bamboo
For those moments when regular sticks are just too bold and even your go-to rods need to simmer down, the Vater Splashstick Soft Bamboo steps in with grace and control. This unique addition to the ever-expanding Splashstick family is tailor-made for quieter sessions, acoustic sets, or low-volume environments where tone and touch matter more than raw power.
At the heart of the Splashstick Soft Bamboo is a thin foam core, designed to absorb energy and soften the impact—making your playing feel smooth, responsive, and significantly quieter. Wrapped around this core is a durable layer of natural bamboo, which offers increased resilience and a noticeably sharper articulation compared to traditional birch models. That means you get the subtlety you need, without losing definition on cymbals, snares, or toms.
With a grip diameter of 0.565" (1.44cm) and an extended length of 16¼" (41.27cm), it strikes a balance between comfort, control, and reach. A vibrant green accent band adds a visual cue so you can quickly identify it in your stick bag—no fumbling during quick changes or dark stage setups.
Whether you're accompanying a stripped-back set, navigating volume-sensitive venues, or just looking for a stick with a little more nuance and a little less noise, the Splashstick Soft Bamboo delivers. And as always, Musicmaker stocks these because we know drummers need gear that works with the room, not against it.
