This evaluation process turned into fine-tuning specific key elements until landing on this final design,which simply put...is the one!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grip size starts at .590” with a very subtle flare out to .600”, then quickly back to .590” for a comfortable grip to a precisely calibrated taper for a great rebound, then finished off with a medium-sized acorn tip for a full but defined sound. This spec combination and a touch shorter length deliver a lathe-turnedd rumstick model that effortlessly covers the wide spectrum of music that Vinnie plays from jazz to heavy rock, and everything in between-while never letting him down in consistency, feel, sound, and durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“This is the stick I’ve always wanted, and now I finally have it! It has been a long time coming but well worth the wait; every second. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eI remember visiting Jack’s Drum Shop in Boston when I was a student at Berklee, and that is where Vater all really started...in the basement of Jack’s. Now look at what happened! At one point I was using sticks under a different brand that Vater was making for them and, quite frankly, I was always impressed with Vater’s wood. They have the best wood in my opinion, and in the opinion of many others as well. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Vater craftsmen are so diligent and detailed, and I love the lathe-turned sticks. I even went to the Vater factory and stood there at the lathe while modifications were made right before my eyes. You’ll notice a very familiar 15 15\/16” length on the stick. We sought to take something that people loved years ago, myself included, but make it even better -and we succeeded! I can feel the history,very personally,and it all comes full circle. Bravo to Vater and the whole team!”\u003c\/em\u003e –Vinnie Colaiuta\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vater","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46108455305498,"sku":"VHVCW","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/6710\/5306\/products\/vater_vinnie_colaiuta_stick.jpg?v=1698097834","url":"https:\/\/drumcenternh.mom\/products\/vater-vinnie-colaiuta-signature-model-drum-sticks-vhvcw","provider":"Drum Center Of Portsmouth","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
