Vater Drum and Percussion Brushes (VWTR)

I really like these brushes. They give me a great feel and are very durable. And the retractable nature of the brush means that I can save the bristles.

Buenos y ligeros

Bought these for use on songs that need a softer feel. They certainly do the job, thanks to the wide fan of the bristles. Their retractibility helps preserve them through transport and general storage. Would buy again!

The plastic cap at the end tends to come loose which can be annoying. For the most part however, they are a good set of brushes from a very good company.

Brushes are a reasonable price and hold up well if you are careful

There have been many reviews, mostly good, some bad. The bad ones cite how easily some of the brushes fall apart. I suppose it is just luck on whether the brushes were defective, and unfortunately, I received one defective one and one good one. I am usually able to use Vic Firth ones pretty rough with them not breaking, but with one of my Vater brushes, the bristles fall apart left and right when using it for more than snare brushing. Generally a good product, and Vater is a solid company; however, if you receive a brush that sheds bristles very fast, return them immediately and reorder, hoping for the best. I may try my luck with more Vic Firth ones in the future.
