The Vater Manhattan 7A Wood Tip Drum Sticks are lighter and thinner than the standard 5A drum stick. With a length of 16’’ and a diameter of 0.540’’, these drum sticks are slightly longer and heavier than a standard 7A. The stick features a small round head for defined cymbal work, making these drum sticks ideal for light playing. However, their extra length and weight ensures they still perform with power and aggression when required.
