Working closely with the Vater craftsmen, even spending time on the Vater factory floor himself, Vinnie used various prototypes live, in the studio, and on the pad - paying keen attention to what worked and what didn't work for him with each. This evaluation process turned into fine-tuning specific key elements until landing on this final design, which simply put…is the one! The grip size starts at .590” with a very subtle flare out to .600”, then quickly back to .590” for a comfortable grip to a precisely calibrated taper for a great rebound, then finished off with a medium-sized acorn tip for a full but defined sound. This spec combination and a touch shorter length deliver a lathe-turned drumstick model that effortlessly covers the wide spectrum of music that Vinnie plays from jazz to heavy rock, and everything in between - while never letting him down in consistency, feel, sound, and durability.

Awesome stick! I have used Vater sticks for over 20 years! I found they are the best weighted, most reliable with the least amount of bow. I know that when I order some -- sight unseen, they will be paired correctly and not be warped!! I love the Vinnie signature model, very comfortable and durable!

Vater makes great sticks and the Vinnie Colauita model is cool the way it feels due to a slight increase in thickness near the shoulder of the stick. It allows for better definition around the toms when doing fills.

These replaced my 30 year favorite sticks (Harvey Mason signature), which is saying a lot. Great balance and weight with a smallish acorn tip.
