Under the direction of several Vater Artists including Gorden Campbell, Nisan Stewart, Cora Coleman-Dunham and Chris Johnson, Vater is the first drumstick company to introduce a line of drumsticks geared towards the Gospel Drumming genre.

Vater's Gospel Series consists of three Hickory models designed to meet the feel, weight and volume needs of Gospel drummers. The Gospel Series models measure in at 16.5" for some extra length and three diameters to suit the variety of volume, dynamic and venues size challenges these drummers face. The round tip provides great cymbal clarity and rebound from around the drumkit. The Gospel Series is finished in a white stain.

GS-5A Just under a traditional 5A but with a 1/2" extra length. A comfortable grip size and weight for low to mid volume situations. Barrel style tip gives this stick great playability. L 16 1/2" D .555" L 41.91cm D 1.41cm VGS5AW

GS-Fusion In between a 5A and 5B in the grip like Vater's popular Fusion model, but with the extra length that the Gospel Series brings. Very responsive and suitable for all applications. L 16 1/2" D .580" L 41.91cm D 1.47cm VGSFW

GS-5B Same grip diameter as a standard 5B but with a heavier taper than the GS-5A and GS-Fusion for added weight. L 16 1/2" D .605" L 41.91cm D 1.54cm VGS5BW

Updated Hickory Model

Matrix

Originally a Vater Player's Design Model, the Matrix remains exactly the same in all dimensions as the previous artist model, just with a new name. The Matrix measures out as a 5A in the grip with a gradual taper to a small barrel tip for extreme cymbal clarity. A very quick feeling stick that is great stick for Jazz, Funk and R&B drumming.

Brian Frasier-Moore Model

This stick design comes from one of the most in demand drummers of today. Brian's stick design is just under a 5A in the grip but with some extra length for added reach. The gradual taper to the medium sized barrel tip makes it a nicely balanced and versatile stick.

Mike Wengren Model

Designed by the multi-platinum drummer of the band Disturbed, Mike's stick measures in between a 5B and a 2B with a quick taper to an oval nylon tip. The extra length gives some added weight and a bit more reach. Nicely weighted and durable, this is a perfect stick for hard-hitting drumming. Stick is finished in a black stain with artwork featuring Disturbed's album logos.

Derek Roddy Model

Derek's model is in between a 5A and 5B in the grip. The stick features a really quick taper to a small acorn tip for warm but defined cymbal tones. A great stick for a variety of musical applications.

Monster Wood

The Monster Wood Brush features the same nylon bristles as in the Monster Brush and Little Monster, just placed in a traditional brush arrangement. The bristles give a funky and textured "swish" sound and great backbeat accents.The wood handle grip is a 5A sized diameter.

Little Monster

A smaller diameter version of the original Monster Brush for a lighter feel and weight.
