"I love the 1A's, especially for their length. I tend to hold my sticks a little closer to the butt, so the extra length is great. Because they aren't too thick, you can easily play across the whole dynamic range." – Ilan Rubin [Nine Inch Nails]
"I love the 1A's, whether lacquer or wood. I like to play with a wide spacing between the sticks, and the extra length of the 1A's allowed me to avoid overextending my arms. They also offer a more powerful and richer sound on drums and cymbals than a standard 5A, while maintaining great responsiveness." - Modern Drummer Magazine
"I have tried a ton of sticks over the years. Then I discovered the Vater 1A's and never looked back! They are ultra-durable and offer incredible power! Their perfect balance ensures optimal control and phenomenal force. It feels like they are an extension of my arm! I like to play my drums and cymbals low, flat, and far away. The extra length of these sticks allows me to do that comfortably. The acorn-shaped tip offers exceptional attack, rebound, and sound. In a word, Vater has created perfection!" - Jordan Cannata [Adrenaline Mob]
"I have been playing with Vater 1A wood tip sticks for over 10 years and no other stick on the market suits me! The 1A's are incredibly durable and their length won me over at first sight. If you are looking for the best rock sticks on the market, look no further. The Vater 1A's are simply exceptional!" - Tosha Jones
