Jay Weinberg's Signature Quick-taper Hickory Sticks

Jay Weinberg of Slipknot and Springsteen fame has been a Vater artist since 2012. Now, fresh off a new record and gearing up for a new tour, Jay is giving Vater and his fans the keys to his signature sound. The Vater Jay Weinberg hickory 908s are sized between a traditional 5A and 5B to supply a comfortable grip in the hand while maximizing power and durability. The Weinberg 908s feature an extended reach (16.25"), giving Jay greater leverage for fills and greater access to cymbals. Jay's signature Vaters feature quick tapers from shaft to tip to supply a fast and powerful throw, especially for backbeats. And thanks to their medium-sized barrel tips, the Vater Jay Weinberg 908 signature drumsticks supply a natural tone and rebound on everything from cymbals and percussion to snares and toms. Looking to capture a piece of Jay Weinberg's fierce sound for yourself? It starts with the Vater Jay Weinberg 908s from Sweetwater.

Best of both worlds

Has the speed of a 5A and the power of a 5B. The little bit of extra length, though a small amount, really makes a difference in feeling. Whether you're a fan of Slipknot, Jay, or just want to try a new pair of sticks, I highly recommend you give these a shot.

Great pair of sticks!

These sticks hold up to heavy hitting even though they are not very heavy, which helps me get around the kit quicker while still digging into my drums! I think these are the best sticks I have ever played!

Look great! Will be perfect for what I'm creating

I bought these because I'm creating a shadowbox for all th signature sticks I've collected over the years. I can't speak for the playability of these since I won't be using them, but wanted to leave a review due to the customer service I received. Ordered these from another vendor and they showed backordered. Then after a period of time, I received an email saying my return was complete. I contacted their customer service since I did not want to return the order. They said the shipped sent it back for some reason, but they couldn't say why. I then checked this item again on their site and it STILL showed backordered. I don't deal with companies that are that sketchy, so I looked up Sweetwater, the item was $1 cheaper and in stock. Communication from Sweetwater started immediately on the order, and it was here in 2 days. I'll be using Sweetwater in future and appreciate their service. Thumbs up guys!!

Amazing response

This stick feels so good I wish they made it with a nylon tip or different variations of wood. It's a very very strong pair of sticks though. The speed I can get on these sticks while playing relaxed is unparalleled to any other Vader stick I've played. Also the barrel tip is now my favorite tip simply because I used these sticks.
