52nd St. Jazz Named after the legendary street in Manhattan and replicated after one of the early hand-turned Jack’s Drum Shop Models, this design is straight out of the great Jazz and Big Band era. The long and flat oval tip produces warm and broad ride cymbal tones with full-bodied drum sounds. The quick taper gives it a great feel and response. L 16" D .530" L 40.64cm D 1.36cm VH52JW		Swing Designed in collaboration with renowned educator Steve Fidyk, the Swing model has a “double taper”, meaning that it is slightly thicker towards the middle of the stick than in the grip and then finishes with a very quick and thin taper. Possesses great sensitivity and exceptionally fast rebound. L 16" D .535" L 40.64cm D 1.40cm Wood:VHSWINGW Nylon:VHSWINGN		Traditional 7A Dubbed “traditional” because Vater’s 7A is longer and has a different tip shape than standard 7A’s in the industry. This classic style 7A has a great feel for lighter playing. The small acorn tip delivers full cymbal and drum sounds without being overbearing.
