Eternal Black 5A Wood Tip Drumsticks. Very well balanced stick. Heavier toward the tip for fast attack and response on drums. Vater is excited to introduce the Eternal Black Series, a line of drumsticks finished in a black stain. Stick models included in the Eternal Black Series are Vater's popular 5A, 5B, and Power 5B as well as three brand new models: Warrior, Punisher and Destroyer all of which were designed with hard hitting, aggressive drumming in mind. All Eternal Black Series models come in both wood and nylon tip.
