Vater Ball Sugar Maple

I have been using the Maple Fusion sticks for a while now. These guys are a step up. The grip and taper are very similar. The ball tip gives a much nicer cymbal sound and lasts longer than the barrel tip of the fusion. Weight wise this stick is super versatile. I've used them in almost every musical situation except metal (a bit light). If you like a lighter stick capable of plenty of punch and good for the quieter moments then this is you piece of maple.

The sticks feel very confortable in the hands, as the maple is light and smooth. The round tip could be smaller, though.

I like Vater sticks, and these are nicely balanced and not
too heavy to handle
