John Fred Young of Black Stone Cherry, Kate Schellenbach of Luscious Jackson plus Matt Higginbotham of Rachel Farley are the latest drummers who have joined Vater's family of endorsing artists.
John Fred Young, who previously played with Pro-Mark, is now using the Vater XD-5A in Wood tip. The XD-5A is between a traditional 5A and 5B in the grip but with 1/2 inch extra length. It has a heavier taper and is well balanced and responsive with a rounded barrel-style wood tip for a full sound.
