Vater Vinnie Colaiuta Signature Drumsticks

zZounds Gear Experts Say...
A set of sticks from the mind of Vinnie Colaiuta, Vater's Vinnie Colaiuta signature drumsticks feature a tapered shaft for increased stick rebound.

As one of the most revered and in-demand drummers of this generation, Vinnie Colaiuta's hands were missing a drumstick that could cover all the bases for him both physically and musically.

Working closely with the Vater craftsmen, even spending time on the Vater factory floor himself, Vinnie used various prototypes live, in the studio, and on the pad - paying keen attention to what worked and what didn't work for him with each. This evaluation process turned into fine-tuning specific key elements until landing on this final design, which simply putis the one!

The 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-turned drumstick 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.

I used them this weekend for four sets each night. Very pleased with the results. I usually use Peter Erskine ball tip sticks because most rooms are small. Vinnie’s sticks offer more volume for the same amount of effort. Something I didn’t expect was when using cross-stick technique. The normal way produces a nice, sharp, and cutting higher pitched sound. Placing the handle of the stick on the head with the same technique makes a noticeably deeper sound that is also useful.
