Vater Goodwood Fusion Drumsticks - GWFW

OVERVIEW

Vater are another leading American drumstick manufacturer specialising in quality American Hickory drumsticks. Like their competitors at Vic Firth, Vater make drumsticks to extremely high standards, only allowing the best Vater drumsticks into the ‘A-Grade’ selection. However, that doesn’t mean that every Vater drumstick comes out at premium-grade quality.

Some Vater drumsticks originally destined for A-List stick batch can fail Vater’s quality control process before they get selected for weights and stamping. The sticks which don’t make the grade may have some grain issues and the odd one may have the tiniest evidence of shaft-warp, which means they are farmed out to Vater’s ‘Goodwood’ range. But essentially, it’s very hard to tell the difference between a pair of Vater ‘Goodwood’ drumsticks and their premium equivalent.
