Playing in a band like Slipknot, you have to have a stick in your hands that combines several key elements: response, tone, and feel without sacrificing durability and comfort. Jay Weinberg took all his favorite features of several Vater models that he has used over the years and applied them to his 908 design. The Vater Jay Weinberg 908 is in between a 5A and 5B for a comfortable grip. It adds 1/4" length for some added reach. The 908 has a quick taper for a slight forward throw but with a fast response. The medium sized barrel tip delivers a defined ride cymbal tone without lacking volume to cut through while putting out full drum tones. All these elements make the 908 a great stick for playing at both medium to high tempos with fast fills and for also more straight ahead rock, groove playing. Sharpen your rhythm with the 908. Where can you buy the 908? International & USA Friends: Any musical instrument store can order the Vater Jay Weinberg 908 model for you. Please contact your local store and ask them to get the 908 on order for you. If the store has any questions, please have the contact us directly or they can also contact the Vater distributor for their country. Please note: Stores may be currently showing the 908 as “Backordered” or “out of stock” - this is because they have not received their initial stock of 908s yet but they will ship to you as soon as their stock arrives. There are also retailers that do currently have stock on hand.
