Vater Percussion - Extended Play Series 5B Nylon Tip Hickory Drumsticks

With its Extended Play series, Vater has found a way to dramatically extend the life of its hickory drumsticks without compromising tone or response. Extended Play sticks feature not one, but two stick-protection safeguards. The first is a 3" Stick Shield, 8x stronger than steel and weighing just half a gram, which guarantees sticks against breakage and weakening through rimshots. The next is a pearl-colored anterior coating, which protects sticks against crash strokes and hi-hat damage. Otherwise, these sticks offer the same Vater grip, weight, balance, and sound you trust. Get longer-lasting, better performance out of your sticks with Vater Extended Play 5Bs.
