The Vater Bebop 550 Sugar Maple Drum Sticks are now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

Manufactured from high-quality Sugar Maple, these drumsticks are part of Vater’s Bebop series, designed specifically for lower-volume playing and increased finesse. The maple construction provides a significantly lighter weight and more flexible feel compared to hickory, enhancing speed and sensitivity. Featuring a long, quick taper and a small oval wood tip, these sticks offer fast rebound and excellent control. At 16" in length with a 0.550" diameter, the grip size sits just under a traditional 7A, providing a slim, precise feel in the hand.

These sticks deliver a very light, fast response with exceptional articulation, making them ideal for detailed playing and subtle dynamic control. The quick taper allows the stick to rebound effortlessly, while the small tip produces a clean, focused cymbal tone with minimal wash. Their lightweight nature and compact profile make them particularly well suited to jazz, acoustic and low-volume settings where touch, speed and definition are essential.
