Information

The Vater Classics Sugar Maple 5B Nylon Tip Drum Sticks are now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

Manufactured from high-quality Sugar Maple, these drumsticks are part of Vater’s Classics series, offering a traditional 5B profile with a lighter and more responsive feel compared to hickory equivalents. Maple construction reduces overall weight while maintaining flexibility, resulting in a comfortable playing experience with less fatigue over extended sessions. This model features a medium taper and an acorn-shaped nylon tip, providing consistent rebound and enhanced cymbal clarity. At 16" in length with a 0.605" diameter, they follow a standard 5B specification with a slightly more agile feel.

These sticks deliver a medium weight response with increased speed and control, allowing for powerful playing without the added mass of hickory. The nylon tip produces a brighter, more defined cymbal sound with added articulation, while the maple construction keeps the overall feel balanced and responsive. They are well suited to styles including rock, pop and general-purpose playing where clarity, control and reduced fatigue are important.
