Vater Morgan Rose Alien Freak

I use these sticks every time for playing contemporary classical percussion setups when wooden sticks are required. The fact that they are quite thick give them a full sound on skins (toms, bongos, congas, etc...) Typically we use upside-down regular drumsticks to achieve this but then you have to hold the sticks on the taper, which is not very confortable (I personally hate it very much). Also, these sticks have a fantastic rebound which facilitates playing a lot.

These sticks are the best multi-percussion sticks I have ever found !

These things are like hammers. I adore them. They're very thick and quite heavy, so they're not really that great for subtle drumming. But if you're drumming subtly, you're doing it wrong.

Super! strong stings without a tip, perfect for Grunge music
Dave grohl also used he's stick upside down, so with these sticks you got both sides that work, Brilliant! i recommend it!

This stick is 16mm thick without tapering.
I use it to play the Guinean bass drums kenkeki and sangban. For dununba even larger stick is needed.
