Re: Vic Firth Drumsticks VS. Vater
Hi, since I started playing drums I always played vic firth, they have enough coating to be comfortable with and even if there's no coating anymore, you still can play them.
I've no problems with broken sticks, so I used my first sticks 6 months or longer until it was too raw to hold.
As I was looking for new sticks I saw that vic got very expensive in the meantime so I looked for another brand like vater, agner, rohema, wincent etc, then I discovered Los Cabos a small company from Canada which has excellent sticks for the price of no-name sticks, I ordered some white hickory series 5a and they feel exactly like the vic firth, last as long as them and are perfectly matched.
They offer 3 model lines:
- maple series (very light sticks)
- white hickory series (standard)
- red hickory series (heavy)
So, if you prefer wood tips then I highly recommend it!
