Vater Wicked Piston

Product Description

The Wicked Piston is Mike Mangini's (Dream Theater, four-time Grammy nominee) own signature stick, made from carefully selected American hickory. The stick carries a slightly heavier front weight for a more solid sound, and its extra length lets you decide for yourself how much front weight you want to bring into play.

The front-heavy balance means the stick delivers weight into the stroke without you having to dig in harder. Uuseful if you want a punchier, more solid sound without changing your technique. Because the stick is made extra long, you can grip it further back or further forward to fine-tune the balance and how much of that front weight actually comes through in the attack.

Material and Construction

The stick is made from American hickory, a wood known for its strength and ability to take a beating during hard playing. The extra length is a deliberate part of the design. Nnot just a size variation. Ggiving you room to experiment with your grip.

Who It's For

A good fit if you like Mike Mangini's playing style and want a stick with a distinct front-loaded feel in the attack, with the freedom to adjust that feel through your grip.
