In celebrating ELP’s 50th Anniversary with Carl Palmer now a Vater Artist, Carl’s new signature Vater Drumstick design will be initially released with his ELP 50th Anniversary logo - Limited for sale in 2022 only!
Carl Palmer’s new stick design is .580” [1.47cm] in diameter, so the grip is comfortably in between a 5A and 5B in size, and 16” [40.64cm] in length. The long, gradual taper to the medium size teardrop/oval hybrid tip makes it a stick that gives a quick rebound with clean/defined tones from around the drum kit.
Lathe turned from American Hickory for durability, Carl’s model is designed for versatility to cover energetic, up-tempo playing to straight ahead grooving at all dynamic levels.
