Vater Recording Hickory Wood

I have been playing the Fusion sticks for a long time now. I am a dynamic player who usually doesn't hit the drums hard.
I tried these sticks recently. The Vater Recording is slightly lighter, slightly smaller diameter but the same length, meaning I get the benefits of less wrist stress but with same reach, bounce and potential power. The balance is actually probably better on the Recording stick. Another great stick from Vater, they never disappointed me all these years.

This is my first choice stick for years. A bit sad though that the quality selection at Vater is not always very good. Not al sticks match 100%

Good grip and feel in hands

16 1/4 inch hickory stick with medium weight and medium taper. medium tip and 551 diameter. great groove stick.
