Vater Super Jazz Wood Tip
Vater Super Jazz Wood Tip
The Vater Super Jazz is exactly what it says on the tin—super. It takes the traditional jazz stick concept and stretches it just enough to give you more reach and a slightly fuller grip, without tipping into heavy or cumbersome territory. This makes it perfect for nuanced cymbal work, tight snare phrasing, and lightning-fast ride patterns. Think intricate brush strokes turned stick magic.
At 16.25" in length and 0.555" in diameter, these sticks sit comfortably between a 7A and 5A, offering a featherlight feel with just enough meat to keep your dynamics controlled. The extra length gives you more leverage, particularly handy for larger kits or deeper ride placement, while the slim profile keeps things responsive and nimble in the hands.
The wood tip is barrel-shaped, a fantastic choice for jazz players looking for a clean, defined sound on cymbals. It delivers a crisp ping on the ride with just the right wash, and helps maintain clarity even in low-volume settings. Drummers who favour articulation over aggression will absolutely feel at home with these in their hands.
And, like all Vater sticks, they’re crafted from American hickory—ensuring strength, flexibility, and enough shock absorption to carry you through long gigs without beating up your hands.
At Musicmaker, the Super Jazz is often the stick we point to for players who are done with featherlight 7As but don’t want to give up speed or subtlety. They're the elegant in-between: light enough for finesse, long enough for reach, and strong enough to be your everyday go-to.
