Although I have been away from drums for some years, I always remembered these as my absolute favourite sticks. That tiny bit of extra length always suited my playing style, the sticks are perfectly matched and I find them to have a very comfortable balance point as well we wonderful sound for light cymbal work and also for the heavy stuff. I also have some Super Jazz in hickory as for a while the maple were difficult to find - the hickory are great and offer that slightly harder attack, but the maple feel so much more fluid and give me a much preferred sound.
As subjective as out liking of sticks will always be, these are definitely ones to try!

Similar but not identical to the hickory version
Robert8836 17.06.2020
I play jazz in small combos and also big band. I love the Vater hickory Super Jazz sticks, so decided to get a pair in the maple wood. I've had my hickory ones for a couple of years, but I notice that the maple version has a completely different tip profile and I think a slightly thicker neck. So be aware that this tip shape difference (plus the difference in wood type) will mean you get a different tone from your cymbals. That said, I like these maple sticks. Like their hickory siblings, they have a long taper which throws the balance/fulcrum point back a bit towards the butt end, and they feel quick on the ride cymbals.

Not my type of drum sticks
Alex Krvs 23.02.2021
So I bought them, so I can have a try on them since I can't find them in my country. I really love the quality of Vater drumsticks but liking a specific pair of drumsticks is clearly a matter of taste...
I used to be a vf aj3 user, and then I became a vater bebop 525 user because what matters to me on a pair of drumsticks is how the cymbal attack and wash sounds to me when playing.
The super jazz maple sticks where really similar to the Vater bebop 525 but heavier. The stick attack was also similar but a bit brighter.
The wash of the cymbal was the same as the volume of its attack making this pair of drumsticks a pair with a hazy attack sound in my opinion.

Super light and Super fast
Datseris 29.12.2017
These sticks are LIGHT. I mean very light. They feel like feathers in your hand.
But because of their balance and great construction, they allow you to play really fast. So far these are my favorite sticks for old school Jazz. I can recommend them without a second thought.
