VATER NYLON TIP HICKORY DRUM STICKS
What do the letters on drumsticks mean?
‘A’ refers to a lighter stick, while ‘B’ means the stick is a bit heavier. All other sticks with varying letters fall somewhere in between these two.
These are the most common drumstick sizes you’ll see.
- 7A (a lighter stick, great for jazz)
- 5A (a good moderate stick for all types of playing)
- 5B (a bit heftier than 5A)
- 2B (heavy, best for hard rock)
