The Vater Classics Sugar Maple 8D Jazz Wood 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, designed around traditional profiles with a focus on finesse and responsiveness. Maple construction provides a lighter overall weight and increased flexibility compared to hickory, allowing for faster rebound and reduced fatigue. This model features a long taper and an acorn-shaped wood tip, delivering a smooth, balanced feel with excellent control. At 16" in length with a 0.540" diameter, they offer a 7A-style grip with extended reach, creating a more agile and expressive playing experience.

These sticks deliver a very light, fast response with high levels of articulation, making them ideal for detailed, dynamic playing. The long taper enhances rebound and sensitivity, while the wood tip produces a warm, defined cymbal tone with controlled wash. Their slim profile and lightweight feel make them particularly well suited to jazz, acoustic and low-volume environments where precision, speed and touch are essential.
