The Vater Hickory 2B Nylon Tip Drum Sticks are now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

Manufactured from high-quality American Hickory, these drumsticks follow a traditional 2B profile, designed for durability, power and consistent performance. Hickory is well known for its strength and shock absorption, making it ideal for heavier playing styles. This model features a short taper with a reinforced shoulder, creating a forward-weighted balance for increased attack and projection. The oval nylon tip enhances cymbal articulation and clarity, while the overall construction delivers a solid, dependable feel. At 16 1/4" in length with a 0.635" diameter, they offer extended reach and a substantial grip suited to more demanding applications.

These sticks deliver a heavy, powerful response with excellent volume and projection, making them particularly effective in louder musical settings. The added mass and forward balance allow for strong, consistent strokes, while the nylon tip provides a bright, cutting cymbal sound with clear definition. Despite their size, they maintain control and stability, making them suitable for rock, metal and high-energy live performance where durability and attack are essential.
